Date: 14 Tamuz 5563

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Sender Meisels

An agunah's husband sent a get to Trieste, but due to the long distance and the woman's poverty, a local rabbi suggests sending the get via postal service to a local agent; the responsum discusses the halachic validity of this method.
