וְאַחַר כָּךְ יָצָאתִי מִבַּיִת הַנַּ"ל וּבְכָל מָקוֹם שֶׁהָלַכְתִּי סִבְּבוּ אוֹתִי אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וְכֻלָּם שָׁאֲלוּ עַל מִשְׁפַּחְתָּם, אֲבָל לא הָיָה לִי שׁוּם אִגֶּרֶת מֵחֲמַת שֶׁיָּצָאתִי בְּהֶעְלֵם יְדִיעָה מִכָּל סְבִיבוֹתֵינוּ, וְלא הוֹדַעְתִּי לָהֶם שֶׁאֲנִי נוֹסֵעַ לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְגַם בְּעַצְמִי הָיִיתִי מְסֻפָּק עַד שֶׁיָּשַׁבְתִּי עַל הַסְּפִינָה אֲבָל אַף עַל פִּי כֵן לְכַמָּה אֲנָשִׁים בִּשַּׂרְתִּי בְּשׂוֹרוֹת טוֹבוֹת בְּעַל פֶּה מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם שֶׁאֲנִי מַכִּיר אוֹתָם שֶׁתְּהִלָּה לָאֵל הֵם בְּחַיִּים וּבְשָׁלוֹם וְהָיָה לָהֶם לְנַחַת גָּדוֹל מְאד מְאד אֲבָל אֲפִלּוּ אוֹתָם שֶׁלּא הוֹדַעְתִּי לָהֶם מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם, הָיָה לָהֶם שִׂמְחָה וְחִיּוּת גָּדוֹל שֶׁעַל כָּל פָּנִים רוֹאִים אִישׁ מִמְּדִינָתָם, אֲשֶׁר זֶה זְמַן רַב לא רָאוּ אָדָם מִשָּׁם כַּנַּ"ל:
And behold — praised be G-d — they received us at the master of the house mentioned above for Shabbas and Yom Tov with great honor and comfort. And we had a place of rest on the upper floor — which was in my domain to do there what I wished. And Hashem Blessed be He helped me there in His great kindness to innovate there — in honor of Shabbas and Shavuos — fine teachings about the matter of the Giving of the Torah — with the help of Hashem Blessed be He. And behold — on holy Shabbas — Hashem arranged that a certain guest came by ship from a town near Istanbul — from the holy community of Premishla. And this guest was from our land. And it was about two years since he had left his home alone with empty hands. And Hashem Blessed be He helped him that he came to the Holy Land, sat there some months, and afterward circled through the Ishmaelite lands until he came here on holy Shabbas. And the rav also gave him lodgings at the master of the house of ours. And it was a great pleasure for us — that another one from our lands had met us. And we had with whom to speak. And for me this was a great benefit for several matters.
