He received his letter yesterday — and he had already heard somewhat of the salvation of his son his grandson Dovid Tzvi — may he live — and did not believe it — because he himself was in Teplik between Yom Kippur and Sukkos — and spoke with him face to face — and he did not mention a word. Just now it is good to thank Hashem for all that He has bestowed upon us. And it is impossible to extend now — for the bearer of this letter is urgent. And please inform him of his son his grandson Mikhl — may he live — whether he has already returned to his strength fully. May Hashem Yisborach save them from all pain and fear — and may he merit to raise his sons and daughter in comfort — for long days and good years.
But you already know — my beloved son — that the world is full of sufferings — as written in Job 14: "Adam l'amal yulad k'tzar yamim u's'va rogez." And also all the philosophers of inquiry agree to this — only they do not know the essential eternal purpose — for which man was created for toil. But we — your people — the seed of Avraham — ashreinu — that we know the true eternal purpose in truth — that man was created to know Him Yisborach. And for this it is worthwhile to bear this toil. And also through this very thing — that one knows and believes in this — through this the toil is lightened — and one can convert all to joy. And the essential — through the fact that we are from the seed of Israel — and we know and believe in the true tzaddik who attained the eternal purpose. And however it may be — certainly we will merit through him to a good eternal purpose — to behold the pleasantness of Hashem — against which not even a point of a point of this awesome hope is counted as anything — all the toil and sufferings of the world. And in particular since praised be G-d — la b'i yishlach yad — and "ba'tzar hirchavta li" — that within the trouble itself there are great expanses. Therefore — taki fort hop un nor hop — and further — be well and joyful — always — and accustom yourself always to convert all the sorrow and sighing to joy as they have already spoken greatly about this — for it is good to thank Hashem Who has already preceded the cure before the blow through our holy and awesome Rebbe — and there is hope for our future.
The words of your father.
