Handwritten and Signed Document from Rabbi Nathan Amram, Famed Emissary of Chevron; Ancona, 1837

Document regarding hekdesh money consecrated for the Jews of Eretz Yisrael by a resident of Ancona, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Nathan Amram.
Rabbi Nathan Amram mentions the emissary, Rabbi Yosef David Ayash, negatively in his document several times. (This letter seems to prove the theory that Rabbi Yosef David left the Jewish religion after serving as rabbinic emissary.)

Rabbi Nathan Amram (1790
 – 1871) authored Kinyan HaGuf and Kinyan HaPeiros as well as additional important sefarim. He served for many years as a rabbinic emissary for Chevron in the Diaspora, and was appointed Rabbi of Alexandria. He was known for his exceptionally wide breadth of medical knowledge as well.
