Body: I am at this moment visiting the pleasant moshava Rechovot, may it be built firmly. I am totally enchanted with the hope and consolation Hashem provides, as I see with my eyes the increasing adornment of what was previously our desired but desolate Land, as our brethren, who are scattered in exile, slowly return to it.

My dear friend, your dear letter, was like lightning from the sky, with the plans you sent me for the newspaper, "Ha’ivri" (The Hebrew). I read it, and my spirit was filled with life. The vitality of my earlier days, and the dew of your childhood flashed before my eyes, together with the image of the storehouse of a life of sanctity and love, which the brilliant man of Israel, our mentor, your father zt"l, represented. He possessed the living national soul from its holy source.
To the extent that my weak hand will be able to be helpful, I am prepared, without making an oath, to serve the holy organization, who are founding and expanding the newspaper. They are unique individuals of unblemished minds. I am happily ready for whatever you will ask of me, because we have kindred spirits.
May you, my dear one, be strong and bold, along with all the special people who partner with you. With a bold spirit, raise the banner of the light of Hashem over His nation and His lot, before the eyes of all of Bnei Yisrael, who are thirsting to see things that are full of life and staying power, things that come from the source of the living wellspring that is connected to the living soul of Hashem, which is found in the chosen nation. It presents itself with a crown of grandeur and splendor from the depths of the reliable emotions and clear light and wisdom.
I am looking forward with a yearning of the heart for the realization of your holy, beloved project and for the expansion of your steps on the path of life with the help of Hashem’s powerful "right hand."
