In the letter, Rabbi Chaim of Brisk asks the Adere”t to help a leading Torah scholar, the gaon Rabbi Yekutiel Isser Hadas, receive the ‘Crown of Rabbinate’. Rabbi Yekutiel Hadas also appealed to the Adere”t with a request for assistance and Rabbi Chaim of Brisk made efforts to help him.
The request was written by Rabbi Chaim of brisk on a single page of a double leaf. On the second leaf, Rabbi Yekutiel wrote his request from the Adere”t so that originally, the two letters were written on a double leaf that was sent to the Adere”t (on which the date and the addressee’s name appear). Due to the sensitive content of the letter to the Adere”t, the two letters were separated and only the letter written by Rabbi Chaim of Brisk is offered for sale. (Enclosed is a photocopy of a part of the letter by Rabbi Yekutiel).
