Letter (4 pages; unsigned) handwritten by the Aderet – R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz Teomim, head of the Jerusalem Beit Din. Jerusalem, Adar II 1902.
Halachic responsum pertaining to a vineyard Kilayim concern – lupine being planted between the rows of the vineyard to serve as compost. This question was discussed extensively by the Torah scholars of Eretz Israel at that time.

Without the name of the recipient [apparently, this is a draft of a letter sent to R. Yoel Moshe Salomon].
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.
Double leaf (4 written pages), official stationery. 22.5 cm. Good condition.
