Beautiful Letter of blessings in the Holy Handwriting of Rabbi Yerachmiel Moshe of Kozhnitz – 1896
This letter contains words of gratitude to the recipient for giving him a
"holy signature" of one of the tzaddikim from previous generations, which are "valuable and precious more than gold and pearls" in his holy words.
The Admor blesses him: "May Hashem help him to be granted all the wishes of his heart for good and blessing, and may they see much pleasure and satisfaction from their offspring"…
Writings from him are especially rare..
