Latvia and Rabbis

1)
Perhaps the responsum in the responsa Meshiv Davar, vol. 3, section 18, “to the honor of the rabbi etc., rabbinic decisor in the holy congregation of Krāslava,” is also addressed to him.
2)
In the index at the end of the book this is written in error as section 34.
3)
In the collection Ohalei Lubavitch, Adar II 5755, p. 11, note 10, this R. Yosef was conflated with R. Yosele Charif mentioned above, and it is also an error what is written there that R. Yosef Rabinson was among the Hasidim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe the Tzemach Tzedek.
