Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Meir Av Beis Din of Ravitch, a disciple of Rabbi Akiva Eiger.
The letter was written on the days of Bein Hametzarimm [appraently in late 18th or early 19th century]. Th eletter was written to "הרב הגאון הגדול המפורסם חריף ובקי נ"י ע"ה [=נר ישראל עמוד הימני] כ"ה מו"ה אלי’" and signed: "הק’ מאיר במו"ה יידל ז"ל".
Apparently, the writer is Rabbi Meir ben Rabbi Yidel Bergel Av Beis Din of Ravitsh.
Most of the letter deals with health matters. Rabbi Meir asks Rabbi Eliyahu to pray for him. He writes that due to his illness, his physicians ordered him to travel to a spa town to breathe fresh air; however, "My mind was set against that because of hidden reasons that pertain to awe". He ends the letter with a scholarly comment.
[1] Folded sheet. 21 cm. Good condition. Fold lines and creases.
