Of note in this volume:
• Section signed by his disciple Rabbi Moshe Shiffman of Livna, [1811-1854, Rabbi of Watitz and Prague, see The Chatam Sofer and his disciples, 362].
• Draft of interesting letter, written by disciple of Chatam Sofer to the Rabbi of his community, Rabbi Eliezer, telling about his studies under the Chatam Sofer. {Perhaps letter to Rabbi Eliezer Karpeles, Rabbi of Livna. 1754-1832, Ishim BiTshuvot Chatam Sofer pages 63-64].
• Ownership inscription and scribblings at the end of one subject, Rabbi of Wedritz is mentioned with signature "Yehezkel Meshulam T---", perhaps reffering to Rabbi Yehezkel Meshulam Teller from Komaran, Rabbi of Nir-Made.
• "I heard… from … Moshe Shmuel Brisk [later Rabbi od Niarad] who told in the name of… Rabbi Moshe Sofer".
• "I wrote on Friday night… 1825… I… Kahn".
