Also, there definitely is at least one letter in vol. 1 of the Works (Kitvei ha-Ramban, ed. Chavel (1963), p. -370-) addressed to the son "standing before the King in Castille", i.e. Joseph. It doesn't look like Chavel included it (?) in his translation, though:

The famous letter from Jerusalem on the state of Eretz Israel was addressed to his son Nahman. On what grounds were you able to determine that the letter in question was addressed to neither of those, but to his son Solomon? I don't see a reference to any Solomon in the snippet from the patron you quote.

Does anyone know the name of the letter? I found that the letter is addressed to Solomon. Ramban had a younger son, Solomon, but the letter may in fact be referring to King Solomon. Thanks in advance, Anne "I was in class a few years ago and a letter from the Ramban- Nachmanides was mentioned. It is the not the famous Iggeret Ramban but to a different son that stayed in the Spanish Royal Court. I cannot find it anywhere- do you know how to find it?" Anne K.
