He received his letter just now — and it was a comfort to him — that he fulfilled the mission to send the letter to Lvov. May Hashem complete for them for good. And praised be G-d — this Shabbas also passed in peace and some joy. And they spoke true Torah words about the Torah *"y'mei Chanukah heim y'mei hodaah"* — "the days of Chanukah are days of thanksgiving" — and about *"batzar hirchavta li"* — "in distress You have broadened for me" [Tehillim 4:2] and so forth. But what shall he say to him — my beloved son — for he is compelled to inform him of his pain — for his son Dovid Tzvi — may he live — returned and became ill again about his pain at the Motzaei Shabbas — which is hard to bear — the bitterness of his crying out. And just now it has eased somewhat — but he has still not risen from his bed. May Hashem Yisborach sustain him quickly and restore him to his strength. He has no trust in any stratagem — only on Hashem Yisborach alone. *"L'cha l'vad einenu t'luyos — ad shet'chanenu"* — "to You alone are our eyes raised — until You grace us." [Yeshayahu 33:2] This is his comfort in his poverty — that he knows that he has no support except on Hashem Yisborach alone.
And he warns him and Rabbi Nachman and Rabbi David and all the anshei sh'lomaynu — that they pray greatly to Hashem Yisborach for him — for the mercy is very great upon him and upon him — and it touches all of them. And let him receive from the bearer of this letter two gold coins — and distribute them to Rabbi David and Rabbi Nachman — and let them be for a pidyon for him — and let them multiply mercies for him. And may Hashem hear their prayer and his prayer — through his great power — and through the merit of the little tzedakah. *"Ulai yachus — ulai y'rachem"* — "perhaps He will have pity — perhaps He will have mercy" [Eichah 3:32] — and to Hashem the salvation. And there is much to speak — for even so — *chasdei Hashem ki lo samu.* And certainly everything will be turned to good. But it is impossible to extend just now. And the Master of mercies will have mercy on him and heal him and save him immediately — and may he never come to illness at all — and he hoped to Hashem that he will inform him of his salvation quickly.
The words of one who awaits salvation.
