Letter 316

[This letter opens mid-sentence in the source text.]

…Who pursue honor and arrogance and self-aggrandizement…

…Whose love and faithfulness to the Tzadik — who is the very essence of the truth — the very essence of the good — the like of whom there is none from one end of the world to the other — needs no words. For his great deeds and his acts — for the benefit of Israel — to sow, to sprout, to seed in the world and to illuminate in their hearts the light of the Tzadik — cry out about this with a great voice — cleaving flames of fire — to the very heart of the heavens. Fortunate are you — and fortunate is your pleasant portion — that you have merited to this!
