[1] postcard, 9x14 cm. In his hand and with his signature. The letter is crammed with honorifics for Rabbi Yosef Chaim. He signs: חיים יעקב נפתלי בן חי' קילא.
* Draft of a letter to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, written by Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Naftali Zilberberg.
* Lengthy letter sent by Chaya Kayla Zilberberg, mother of Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Naftali Zilberberg, to her son. Jerusalem, [1893]. It seems that the mother moved to Jerusalem while her son remained in Warsaw.
Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Naftali Zilberberg (1850-1930) was the grandson of the "Zayit Ra'anan." He was a moreh tzedek in Warsaw for many years and was known as "Rabbi Naftali Warshauer." He was close to the Gaon of Chechnov and the Sefat Emmet. He visited Rabbi Yisrael Salanter and was a friend of the Chafetz Chaim. He studied, proofread, and explained the works of the Mahar"il Tzintz and asked to be buried next to him. His Torah is printed in Divrei Chaim (1931) and Anfei Zayit (1932).
The letters are in fine condition.
