Apparently, the disciple wrote to him due to an inheritance and gift he was given because of his pedigree and the disicple asked his Rav, who was knowledgable not only in the Torah but also in the history of important Jewish families.

The great Rav guides his disciple in the sources of th epedigree and advises him on several additional sources such as ‘The Rav Abd of Yergin is married to one of your family and will explore it…’. Rabbi Shlomo ends and signs ‘דברי מורך ומלמדך להועיל הן דברי שלמה קוועטש מנ"ש’.
