All of this was on the night belonging to Friday Erev Sukkos. And throughout that entire night there was a great commotion — for his weakness overcame him ever more at every moment. And blood poured from him through the cough very greatly — from the second day of Rosh Hashana until now — in a quantity that cannot be believed or told. And close to daylight they called the doctor against my will. And he zichrono livracha — in his wondrous ways — submitted himself then to the will of the assembled, that they do with him as they wished in the matter of the doctor. So I understood from his holy mind. And I protested against their calling the doctor — but they did not listen to me. And on the matter of the doctor there is no place here to elaborate. On Friday morning he told us to find a good chair suited to his weakness — one he could lean upon well. And Hashem Blessed be He helped us and we found a chair that pleased him. And immediately we brought him the chair. And he sat on it that morning of Friday mentioned above.
