Two large pages in the secrets of the Torah and Sodos Beriyat Haolam and more handwritten by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov, one of the greatest students of the "Gra" - 1740's.
An entire page on kabbalah, full of amazing secrets and gematrios, Divine Names and more.

Hagaon Hamekubal Rabbi Menachem Mendel of shklov זיע"א, one of the most prominent students of the Gr"a, who as he himself declared “For about two years I did not move from him... out of his tent day and night, where he went, I went, where he slept, I slept and I did not move my hand from his hand at all, and opened for me the key of wisdom” (History of the Sages of Jerusalem, 8:158). Rabbi Menachem Mendel took notes from the Gr"a's Torah in his life, and even after his death he dealt with the publication of his books.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel learnt much of the wisdom of the Kabbalah from his great teacher the Gr"a, and it is possible that these remarkable chidushim are from the Gr"a himself.
Rabbi M.M. is known for being at the head of the “Aliyah of the Gra’s Students” to the Holy Land in 1948. He bought the “Churva” yard and founded the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem.
