 bowed me down, for you have mixed my joy — with which I had
 rejoiced as over all riches — upon hearing the report that he
 had already begun to return to his former strength. And now you
 inform me of your pains that have returned and been aroused
 again — ailments and so forth. May Hashem Yisborach heal you
 speedily. Please, my brother, my beloved and dear friend — remember,
 do not forget, all that we merited to hear and to see from
 the mouth of the Sava d'Savin

 and prayer — nonetheless there are counsels in his holy words
 for how to give life to oneself even at this time — namely
 through will and yearning and longing for
 Hashem Yisborach and for His Torah — as explained in
 his holy books. And to pour out one's speech before Hashem
 Yisborach like a son before his father. And in particular
 one who is not on the line of health — whose heart is broken
 within him — it is natural for him to pour out his speech
 even before people with a broken heart — how
 much more so before Hashem Yisborach, who has struck and who
 will heal. And accustom yourself and strengthen yourself with all your
 might to gladden your soul with everything possible. For
 all illnesses come through sadness — and
 joy is a great medicine for every kind of illness —
 as explained in Likutay Tinyana, section 24 —
 see there. And how can every person gladden his soul? Through
 what he has merited — that G-d has not made him a gentile —
 and has separated us from those who go astray, and so forth. Hope to Hashem and He will save you
 — for surely not lost, G-d forbid, is every single step and
 every single movement and every single perutah
