Letter handwritten and signed by R. Shlomo Deutsch Rabbi of Nitra, to R. Eliezer Pollack, rabbi in Budapest. Nitra, 1874.

The letter discusses a divorce which was repeated in the Nitra Beit Din, after having been found to be invalid, due to failings of the scribe and witnesses. R. Shlomo Deutsch sends the invalid document to R. Eliezer Pollack rather than giving them to the husband, out of concern that the latter will claim his expenses from the guilty parties in a secular court.

R. Shlomo Deutsch (ca. 1800s – 1880), disciple of R. Yehuda Aszód and of the Chatam Sofer; dayan in Nitra, and later rabbi in Ipolyság (Šahy) and Nitra.
