[This letter opens mid-sentence in the source text.] …A most fierce and remarkable warrior… Whose mind and intellect is strong in the true truth — and who has a strong and firm heart to clothe himself… The bond that Hashem has made between us. And all that you have heard from me — from the pleasantness of the secret of the bond between us — and the entire bond of the words of truth that you have heard from me — from the pleasantness of the secret of the awesomeness of the greatness of the Tzadik — it is no small matter. For it is awesome wonders — to give us life forever as of this day — and to know what it is impossible to estimate: a great, immense and most exalted matter. And from all of it you can understand — that it is a matter of great magnitude — deep and most awesome (exceptional) — which it is impossible to estimate in the mind. And if the wise one says he wishes to know — he will not be able to find it. And through this — rejoice and exult every day and at every moment and in every place — for our hope has not yet been lost — through the kindnesses of Hashem and His great compassion.

…And to strengthen us forever — not to fall because of anything — even if what will be will be. Even though right now my mind is not clear and I have no words — because of the harsh sufferings passing over me… But through the immensity of your longing and your good yearnings to draw close and to be bound to the true Tzadik — so that he bring you close to Hashem Yisburach and His Torah. For it is a great, immense and most exalted matter… The ones who blind… …And from all of this one can understand hints — so that one's thoughts do not panic from all the things passing over him. Only from all of them he will remember Hashem Yisburach from every place where he may be — however things may be. For even in the nethermost depths one can be close to Hashem Yisburach — through the power of the Tzadik. And my eyes gaze and look forward to Hashem — that He cause to sprout through this your salvation and your eternal good within all of Israel. I need to ask greatly from Hashem Yisburach that He place words in my mouth — in a way that I can accomplish as (my) genuine desire. Right now my mind is not clear and I have no words — because of the (the bitternesses) the harsh sufferings passing over me. But from my love for you which is in my heart — I have compelled myself to speak with you for your eternal good. For I know that your heart inwardly longs greatly to draw close to Hashem Yisburach in truth. Only the vanities of the world separate between us and the true path. And I need to ask greatly from Hashem Yisburach that He place words in my mouth — so that I may accomplish — for the sake of benefiting you forever — the power of the wondrous and awesome kindness of Rosh Hashana. He Who is greatly kind and abounds in doing good — may He pour out upon him and his household only good and kindness!
