There are many corrections, erasures and comments along the leaves of this booklet, all in Rabbi Moshe Feinstein's hand. At the end of the booklet, he apologizes for such, writing, "Forgive me for sending you the first draft, as I am rushing to send it and don't have the time available to copy it over."
