In this letter R’ Hirsh the son of the Dayan Rabbi Yessachar Katz of Furth writes to his friend Gavriel about the receipt of his letter, on his offer to visit Rabbi Avraham of Vorbach, and offering him to come to Sarreguemines to converse with him in Divrei Torah, about the questions he asked from Rabbi Avraham and did not receive an answer, and about questions he has on Tractate Brachot and more. The writer also sends regards to his family and friends.
