Lot 61:
Letter with interesting content, in the pearly script of the Gaon rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, addressed to the Gaon Rabbi Eliezer Waldenberg, about his famed book the Chazon Yechezkel of the Tosefta.
At the beginning of his letter, Rabbeinu apologizes for the delay in sending his reply, due to work as Rav: "החדש האחרון עבר עלי בעבודה רבה, ואזלת ידי מכתוב אל ידידי באשר הי’ עם לבבי באמת. ורק היום שאין ישיבת בית דין, לקחתי לי מועד, לעריכת אגרות ברכה ושלום. וכמובן ידידי היה מן הראשונים".
Later in the letter, Rabbeinu asks Rabbi Waldenberg to send 12 copies of the Chazon Yechezkel to the following rabbis and yeshivas: Rabbi Yitzchak Berlin, Rabbi Mishkovsky, Rabbi Fischman, Rabbi Assaf, Rabbi Shaer, the Rav of Ponovezh, Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin, Rabbi Yaffe and Rabbi Unterman.
