The writer clearly had access to R. Baruch Ber’s personal notes. Seven lectures here have the caption “Mikthav Yado.” Most of these contain variances from the printed edition. The second lecture on the topic of when one witness is believed as two (ff. 3-6), is not in Birkath Shmuel nor in Chidushei Veshiurei Maran Rebbe Baruch Ber - Baba Metzia, edited by R. Baruch Ber Grozovsky (Lakewood, 1994). At the end of the third lecture here (f. 6b), there is a three line comment which is not found in the published version. Only the latter part of lecture no. four is published in Chidushei Veshiurei Maran Rebbe Baruch Ber. The final comments on f. 21b of lecture no. 9 are not in the published version in Birkath Shmuel Baba Metzia (New York, 1970) no. 13, p. 24. Lecture no. 10 was copied from the writings of R. Meir Pantel (who later served as a Maggid Shiur in Yeshiva R.J.J. in New York (see f. 25) and was published in Chidushei Veshiurei Maran Rebbe Baruch Ber no. 27 with slight variances.
