Letter on postcard, handwritten and signed by the Aderet – R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim, Rabbi of Ponevezh. Ponevezh, [1881].
Sent to his relative R. Chaim Natansohn, Rabbi of Pikeliai. He was apparently involved in printing the novellae of the Aderet in some kind of journal, but the Aderet writes that he doubts whether his novellae would be acceptable to the editors, due to their terseness and the difficulty for those unfamiliar with his style to understand them.

R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim – the Aderet (1845-1905), was the Rabbi of Ponevezh, Mir and Jerusalem. He was renowned from his childhood for his love of Torah and diligent Torah study, for his righteousness and refined character traits. A brilliant Torah scholar, he left behind more than 100 manuscript works, most of which were never printed. His son-in-law was R. Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel.
