LETTER FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE
Blessed be Hashem  ·  Tuesday — the eve of Rosh Chodesh MenachemUman  ·  Year 5604 (1844)
ToPeace and life — to my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — and so forth — our Teacher the Rabbi Dovid Tzvi — may he live.

Yesterday he heard that he is not in good health — and he has pain and many sufferings from this. For even without this — he has immense compassion over him — my beloved son. In particular just now — he is pained over him — my beloved son and dear friend — mei'ai mei'ai ochilah. But he hopes and hopes to Hashem — that He will save him quickly — for Hashem will not forsake forever. And certainly also you my son — you are the works of His hands Yisborach — over whom it is said "v'rachamav al kol ma'asav." Lo ka'chataeinu ya'aseh lanu — He will not deal with us according to our sins — for His mercies are very great. Only be strong and bold very much — and remove anger from your heart — hope to Hashem and He will save you. And he requested from him — my beloved son — that he fulfil his words — as he has spoken with him greatly — and he thinks greatly for his benefit. And he hopes to Hashem Yisborach that He will save him soon.

And see to write him a letter immediately — and send to Tultchin — to his brother Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine — and from there it will reach his hand. For he awaits to see his letter quickly — in Tshehrin — where he intends to come — with Hashem's help — for Shabbas Nachamu — coming upon them for good. And more than this — there is no leisure to extend at all — because of the great preoccupation with the holy building.

The words of your father — who intercedes for you — and who awaits your salvation quickly.
