Description		    Letter by R. Hayyim b. Moses Milokowski, Rebbe of Amshinov and Rosh ha-Yeshiva of Shem Olam in Jerusalem. The Amshinov dynasty was founded by his great grandfather, R. Jacob David Kalish, a pupil of R. Menahem Mendel of Kotsk. In 1849, he became the leader of a large group of Hasidim at Amshinov. Following enactment of the law prohibiting Jews from growing a beard and sidelocks he was put in prison with R. Isaac Meir of Gur on the charge of inciting the masses to revolt against the government. However, he succeeded in obtaining revocation of the decree, and received a personal certificate of protection from a minister in Warsaw, forbidding anybody to harm him.
