This is page 7 of Zichron Yaakov by R Yaakov Bendetman. This part apparently includes some relevent information about his relationship with Nachum Kangisser. It would be very useful for it to be translated.

It is in rashi script

kind regards,

David L

3/25/2026 11:31 PM This is the author's will, which the publisher found worthy of publication.

A brother in law Menachem Nachum is mentioned as having been immensly helpful in paying the author's debts. The town leader gave 100 for that purpose, the brother in law 400.
3/25/2026 11:42 PM The brother in law was alive when the will was written (not necessarily when it was published).
