In honor of the daughter of my eye and my heart, President of Israel, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar, who has delved with the heights of his wisdom and increased his understanding to distinguish and to understand and to see the light of the True Tzaddik, to understand and to realize where is the real Truth, to hold fast to it and to unify with it with a perfect heart, with all his heart, and who desires and digs with all his strength to introduce it into the heart of all Israel. For only he, only he is our main redemption and salvation of our souls, in this impoverished and orphaned generation, in these our generations.
In honor of the daughter of my eye and my heart, President of Israel, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar, to whom the Creator has given a proper and understanding heart, to understand and to see the light of the True Tzaddik, hidden and concealed so much from the eyes of the world, and to feel in his heart a little of the hidden hints and secrets and deep and sincere advice with which he will rectify us and all of Israel and will return the whole world to the good. Great peace.
Even if due to the great power of our amazing love, literally the love of David and Jonathan [see First Samuel 18-20] you do not leave my heart ever, all the days. As my master, with his honored and exalted wisdom, recognizes and knows well clearly that these words are truth. Still Hashem knows the sadness and pain of my heart that I have from the fact that I do not merit to write to you pleasant words, stored away in the treasury of the Tzaddik, upon which all our vitality and consolation depend. But the main reason is because of the weakness of my body, and the light of my eyes is not with me as before. And also because of my great distress from a number of incidents and hardships without number that have surrounded me from all sides, that is imposssible to describe or to explain. My mind is not clear for this. But even so, since I am yearning and longing so much, day and night with expiration of the soul, for your well-being and your recovery, which relates to the benefit of all Israel, Hashem has sent into my thoughts a strong thought to gird up my strength with all my might, with the last ounce of my strength, with self-sacrifice, to write often words that illuminate from the words of our Teacher and his holy and very awesome student, that are able to shine the light of G-d throughout the whole world, and to revive dead corpses like us today in these our generations. The matter of our bond is a great wonder. And it is an amazing benefit and salvation for us and for all the People Israel. And therefore I shall request that you give assistance and encouragement and strength to this by issuing me a receipt through the secretary for every letter that arrives. I have in this no ulterior motive of honor or vain-glory of vanity, G-d forbid. Just truly for the sake of Heaven alone, as already is known to you. It also is proper for us to yearn to see each other.
