Autograph Letter from Rabbi Yosef Leib Sofer, AB"D of Paks, Addressed to Rabbi Akiva Yosef Schlezinger
"Please mention my holy father, the ab”d of Paks, in your prayers and by the holy sites… his holy name [is] Zussman Eliezer ben Leah, for he is greatly suffering. Please also mention me, as I still have not merited offspring. That G-d should have mercy on me and heal all those who are brokenhearted…"
