Two letters handwritten and signed by R. Eliyahu Meir Bloch. Telz (Telšiai), Tishrei 1931 and Cheshvan 1932.
Both letters discuss a teaching position in one of the Telz educational institutions, offered to R. Yaakov Landau (whose father-in-law, R. Yaakov Rabinowitz, was a respected member of the Telz community). In the letter from 1931, R. Eliyahu Meir reports about obstacles preventing him from promoting the appointment, while in the second letter (presumably written after the position was given to someone else), R. Eliyahu Meir writes courteously about the refusal, and his hopes that a suitable educational position will be available in the future.
Both letters bear R. Eliyahu Meir's full signature: "Eliyahu Meir son of R. Y.L.".
R. Eliyahu Meir Bloch (1895-1955), son of R. Yosef Leib Bloch. Dean of the Telz yeshiva in Lithuania, and later founder of the Telz yeshiva in Cleveland, Ohio.
Two letters, one on official stationery and one on official postcard. 29 and 15 cm. Letter on stationery in good-fair condition. Tears, wear and folding marks. Original envelope enclosed. Postcard in good condition. Stains.

Letter handwritten and signed by R. Baruch HaLevi Horowitz Rabbi of Aleksot (Aleksotas), dean of the Slabodka yeshiva in Lithuania. [Aleksot, a suburb of Kovno], Tammuz 1934.
Addressed to R. Yaakov Landau Rabbi of Libau (later rabbi of Bnei Brak), in response to his question regarding the elections to the rabbinate of the town of Gorzd (Gargždai, Western Lithuania). R. Baruch (then president of Agudath HaRabbanim in Lithuania) writes that a permit from Agudath HaRabbanim is not required, and that the organization only authorizes the correct implementation of the elections.
R. Yaakov Landau, then rabbi of Libau, was considering accepting a position in a different town in Lithuania (see item 410). Ultimately, however, he immigrated to Eretz Israel in the summer of 1934 and served as rabbi of Ramatayim and later of Bnei Brak.
R. Baruch HaLevi Horowitz (1870-1936), leading Lithuanian Torah scholar, dean of the Slabodka yeshiva and head of Agudath HaRabbanim in Lithuania. A disciple of the Alter of Slabodka.
[1] leaf, official stationery. 29 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Tears and wear (tape repairs). Folding marks.
