Long Autograph Letter of Torah Novellae from Rabbi Binyamin Zev Wolfe Breyer, AB"D of Tab; 1887
Long handwritten letter by Rabbi Zev Wolfe Breyer, ab”d of Tab and author of Nachlas Binyamin.

While the first page and a half discusses the establishment of the Talmud Torah, the rest of the letter contains long Torah novellae.
