Akiva Eiger, but now that he has relocated he is turning to R. Chaim of Volozhin. The letter then follows with a lengthy Torah discussion. As is well known, there was a fire which destroyed most of R. Chaim Volozhiner’s seforim and manuscripts, hence surviving letters which were sent to him are extremely scarce. 2 (attached) pages. 4 sides. 22 by 35 cm. Blue paper. Moderate-fine condition. Wear on the fold marks and margins, some holes slightly affecting text. Stains throughout affecting text. Opening bid $2500
