To the honorable students, may the Lord be upon them:
I received your letter, and I am now sending the introduction. Although I have not proofread it, not even in writing, I trust you to understand how to proofread it perfectly. I cannot send you paper from here, simply for lack of funds.
The introduction will probably take up a printer-sheet and a half, six pages, and with the index and references, it will be two complete pamphlets, eight pages.
But the introduction is one complete thing, and there is no division in it whatsoever, for they are matters that are most sublime, as you will see once you understand. You should hurry with it as much as possible so I can be on the good day.
... And we hope that everything will be for the sake of the Creator and for our sake. We only need to exert in His law and in His work, to fill the lack and to correct what is broken...
I do not understand your lack of longing for my replies. As for me, I find myself truly near you, not in any way less than when I was with you. I share your sorrows and your joys, just as though I were with you in the same house and we were speaking to each other. But you know two, and I know one, hence my words are few.
Please follow everything I wrote above concerning the wholeness of the introduction.
Yehuda
