Lot 075:
Handwritten letter by the Gaon Rav Avraham Yeshayahu Karlitz, the Chazon Ish, from Thursday, 16 th of Shvat, to the kabbalist Rabbi Asher Zelig Margaliot, saying that the Chazon Ish will not be able to be the sandak at his grandson’s bris and that Rav Margaliot should be. On the back of the letter he writes the addressee (Rav Margaliot) and his name and Bnei Brak—after his death, the street on which he lived had its name changed to Chazon Ish, such that his signature on the back seems prescient. A stamp of Palestine with Rachel’s Tomb. The letter was folded by Maran Chazon Ish instead of using an envelope. Size: 17x12cm. Tape in the right-hand corner, seemingly original.
