There was a alter bucher from Lakewood who use collect for himself, one day he went around collecting saying he was getting married [a dream he had] and needed money, he showed letter from the Rav, the letter said “this man told me he is getting married I don’t know this for a fact but being that it’s a mitzva to believe a yid, I believe he is telling the truth.
