Summary

This is a letter written to David Berlin, Friday 20 Ṭevet 5529 (30 December 1768) by Benjamin Veitel Ephraim, writing in Berlin; Benjamin informs Berlin that he is waiting on the rediscovery of a "rohre" document (?) from the important F.M. (רפ"מ הרמה), which had been lost and unlocateable in all relevant places; the document contained an earlier ruling from Saul Lowenstamm of Amsterdam (1717-1790). The letter informs David Berlin that the plaintiff had not successfully sued for (or was at all entitled to) any amount owed, aside for a loan principle (חסר מהמנוח); the author reports that he has searched his property and that this certain "rohre" document was not to be found, and asks of David Berlin to reissue the document to the plaintiff, Lowenstamm, and the Amsterdam Beth Din, and to insist that the plaintiff listen to the advice of the Amsterdam Beth Din to relinquish the suit upon repayment of a principle owed to him. This episode is likely related to the episode of transfer of the silver factory of Benjamin Veitel Ephraim's father-in-law, Levin Moses Phillip of Amsterdam (also a cousin to Ephraim's father, Veitel Heine Ephraim) following his death; Ephraim's other documents written to David Berlin are 559d and 559j).
