Letter from Rabbi Avraham Auerbach Rabbi of Bonn - 1832

Letter from the Bonn community, signed by the rabbi of the city, R. Avraham Auerbach, and by R. "Shmuel of Bonn" - one of the community leaders. Bonn, 12th Adar II 1832.
Addressed to the leaders of the Breslau community, and to their rabbi R. Shlomo Zalman Tiktin, the letter contains a request for assistance in obtaining documents for a member of the Bonn community, who was entitled to a share in the inheritance of a Jew who had passed away in Breslau. The inheritance was being held up by the Breslau court of law, due to the lack of a birth certificate.
Written by a scribe, with several corrections, presumably handwritten by R. Avraham Auerbach. The letter concludes: "So are the words of those who stand before the Jewish community, the members of the Israelite Consistory in the Bonn district", followed by the signature of R. Avraham Auerbach in Hebrew and German. Another signature, of "Shmuel of Bonn, known as S. Chevalier", presumably a head of the Bonn consistory.
R. Avraham Auerbach (1763-1845), disciple of R. Natan Adler and colleague of the Chatam Sofer. Leading rabbi of Germany and the Rhinelands. Son of R. Aviezri Zelig Auerbach Rabbi of Bouxwiller (1724-1768), and son-in-law of his uncle R. David Sinzheim (president of the Sanhedrin of French rabbis). He was raised by his grandfather R. Tzvi Hirsh Auerbach Rabbi of Worms, and later studied under R. Natan Adler in Frankfurt am Main, together with the Chatam Sofer (who later eulogized him; see: Ishim BiTeshuvot HaChatam Sofer, p. 20). He served as rabbi of several German communities. In 1808, he was appointed rabbi of Bonn. His descendants include prominent rabbis and Torah leaders, including: his eldest son, R. Tzvi Binyamin Auerbach - author of Nachal Eshkol and rabbi of Darmstadt and Halberstadt, his son R. Aharon Auerbach Rabbi of Bonn.
