MONTEFIORE, SIR MOSES (English philanthropist, 1784-1885).
Letter signed, in Hebrew, on headed paper, to the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel, Jacob Saul Elyashar (the “Yissa Berachah”), remitting funds to the needy, L3 however, to be retained by the Rabbi
Ramsgate: 25th Cheshvan, 1881(?)
Est: $300 - $400
PRICE REALIZED $380
Envelope reads: “Haham Jacob Saul Elyashar - Principal of Yesheebat Beth Guedalla - Jerusalem - Holy Land.”
Sir Moses’s prominent signature on the front of the envelope no doubt helpt secure the letter through the rather arcane postal systems of the Near East
