Interesting Letter Handwritten by the "Gadol of Minsk"

Letter handwritten and stamped by the Gadol of Minsk - R. Yerucham Yehuda Leib Perelman Rabbi of Minsk (the signature is torn and incomplete). [Minsk, ca. 1895]. Addressed to R. Avraham David. The recipient of the letter, who presumably served as rabbi or posek, requested the approval of the rabbi of Minsk and his confirmation of the ruling he issued, since he was unsure about it. The Gadol of Minsk writes to him: "…I will reply to him briefly, so that his heart can be confident that he has ruled and instructed correctly by allowing this mixture, without any reservation or hesitation whatsoever…". On the verso, Torah novellae in a different handwriting, presumably that of R. Avraham David recipient of the letter [see a similar manuscript in Kedem Auction 62, item 247]. R. Yerucham Yehuda Leib Perelman (1835-1896), known as "the Gadol of Minsk". Disciple of the renowned Torah scholar, R. Yaakov Meir Padwa. He served as rabbi of Seltz (Sialiec) and Pruzhany, and from 1893, as rabbi of Minsk until his passing. His comments and novellae on Mishnayot were published in the Vilna 1905 edition of Mishnayot under the title Or Gadol. His responsa were also published under this name in Vilna 1924. He was the only one in his generation who earnt the title of "HaGadol", as noted on his tombstone. [1] leaf. Approx. 20X20 cm. Fair-poor condition.
