In the first letter the writer advises how to request from the Ga'avad [Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik, who was appointed at that time Rabbi of Brisk] to head the committee for the yeshiva's benefit, to be his father, Rabbi Chaim's successor: "Write to him and request that he head and preside over the committee like his father and that he sign letters and write as necessary. And I note that I saw a letter sent to him and they should have written with the titles of honor also Pe'er Hador since this is the customג€¦". In the second letter he writes to them that "when they send the letter to the Ga'avad, they should also send a letter to Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky in Vilna and request that he act to benefit the yeshiva".

After his exile during World War I, he returned to Brisk and attempted to renew the collections for the "Torat Chaim" Yeshiva as reflected by these letters.

Letter of "Ordination" by "Shlomo Ye'uda Elgazi" - Shlomo Friedlander, to Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe Zimmerman. [Without place or date, apparently around 1912].
Signatures at top of leaf and on margins "Shlomo Ye'uda Elgazi Chacham and Av Beit Din of Satu Mare Keramim".
Shlomo Yehuda Friedlander (1860-1924), born in Beshankovichy in Russia, a strange character of a Rabbi of the Enlightenment Movement. He immigrated to Hungary, settled in "Satu Mare Keramim", a suburb of Satu Mare and proclaimed himself rabbi of that place. He was accustomed to wander throughout Hungary and Galicia and give sermons. Renowned for the deceit of the "forged Yerushalmi", when he very skillfully copied all the sayings of the Yerushalmi Kodshim brought in the books of the Rishonim integrated with sayings of the Yerushalmi of other Sedarim, and then publicized that he found an ancient manuscript of the lost Yerushalmi. This forgery tricked many rabbis and researchers. As part of the pretense, he adopted a fake identity of a descendant of the Spanish Algazi family. After his deception was discovered, he was forced to wander far away to Russia, where he was less known, to give his sermons (see attached material). At that time, he apparently met Rabbi Ya'akov Zimmerman [a Lithuanian Torah genius], and gave him "ordination".
