[Avodah] Even More on Who Wrote the Mishnah Brurah

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

Someone on my email list spoke to a well-known Flatbush Rov and sent 
me the following:

Reb Yitzchok

I spoke to Rabbi XX this morning, and he did indeed confirm that the 
MB was not written only by the Chofetz Chaim. He said R. Moshe 
Feinstein told him that it is a work of a rabbim, not only a yochid. 
It seems that R. Arye Leib was not the only one to work on 
it.   According to what R.  XX heard the team also consisted of the 
CC's son in law and the mashgiach Rav Londinski.  R.  XX  also told 
me that R. Henoch Liebowitz, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Chofetz 
Chaim in Queens told him that his father Reb Dovid, who was a nephew 
of the CC, also wrote portions of the MB.

So thank you for leading me towards this information.
