A story of a Jew who was walking on the way and had with him
a horse loaded with a heavy burden, and the Jew was
walking and crying before the Holy One, Blessed be He, over his suffering.
When he arrived at the entrance of his house, behold, Elijah the Prophet
was standing there and said to him: Peace be upon you, Jew.
He said to him: Welcome, Elijah the Prophet, of blessed memory.
He said to him: Why are you crying? He said to him: Such and such.
He said to him: Do not fear, for the Holy One, Blessed be He, has heard your prayer
and sent me to you so that you may be happy and good-hearted.
He said to him: May it be His will that it be so. Elijah the Prophet said to him:
Go and bring me a cup of wine and see what I will do for you.
And he went and brought him a cup of wine, and Elijah the Prophet drank
and blessed him and said to him: Go in peace. And it was
when the Jew went to his house, he found there a great treasure
of gold and silver, and he rejoiced with great joy and said: Blessed be
the Name, who sent me Elijah the Prophet, of blessed memory.
And it was when the Jew saw this, he went and bought himself
a large and good house and dwelt in it in tranquility and ease,
and he would perform charity and kindness with all the poor,
and his name spread throughout the land, for he was a
righteous and pious man, performing charity and kindness with everyone.
And it happened one day that the king of the country heard about him
and sent for him and said to him: I have heard about you that you are
a wealthy and righteous man, performing charity and kindness.
He said to him: My lord the king, it is so. The king said to him:
From where did you get all this wealth? He said to him: The Holy One, Blessed be He,
sent me Elijah the Prophet, and he blessed me.
And it was when the king heard this, the king said to him:
I want to see Elijah the Prophet.
He said to him: My lord the king, it is impossible to see
him except on the Holy Sabbath day.
The king said to him: If so, on the Sabbath day I am coming
to your house to see him. He said to him: May it be His will.

A story about one who went to the overseas country and dwelt there
and his name was Tuvia and he had a wife named Sarah
and she was barren, she did not bear him children, and it came to pass one day and her husband
died, and she remained a poor widow with no livelihood
and she went to the Rabbi of the city and told him her words and he said to her
that she should go to a certain nobleman and ask him for charity
and she went to him and knocked on the door and he came out to her
and said to her, what do you seek? she said to him, do charity with me
for my husband died and I have nothing to eat; he had mercy on her
and gave her enough for her needs, and she went to her house happy and glad of heart
and it came to pass one day and she conceived and bore a son and called his name Joseph
and the child grew and became a youth of beautiful form and beautiful appearance
and it came to pass one day and the youth went out to the market and the Minister saw him
and he desired him in his heart and took him to his house and raised him as his son
and it was when the Minister grew old and he called for Joseph and said to him
behold now, I have grown old and grey and I do not know the day of my death
and now my son, listen to my voice for all that I command you
go now to that city and ask for a certain man
and his name is Reuben, and say to him, thus says my father
send me the money which I deposited in your hand
and Joseph went and came to the city and found the man
and said to him, give me the money which my father
deposited in your hand; and the man said to him, as the Lord lives, if I knew
who is your father and what is his name and what he deposited in my hand
and Joseph returned to his father and told him these things
and the father's anger burned greatly and he said to him, return to the man
and say to him, if you do not give me the money, my father
will come and take it from your hand by force; and Joseph went
and spoke to him according to these words; and the man said to him
I did not know your father nor his money; go away from me

A story of one who invited the minister to his house and set before him
and gave before him ⟦...⟧ things
When he came to his house, he gave him bread and salt and said to him, my lord
⟦...⟧
The minister said to him, thus you have brought me shame, you will not do me honor
for honor is from him and from him you shall be ashamed; such is this parable
for if they were to do so for Israel and give them all good things
they would have great shame that the Holy One, blessed be He, gives them all good and they
do not do the will of the Omnipresent, and this is
I am unworthy of all the mercies and of all the truth

A story of one who had a son and wanted to teach him Torah
and he did not want to, and so he hired a teacher for him in his house
but he did not want to learn and would flee from the house
until he grew up and was idle and sitting on street corners
His father saw this and said to him, my son, how long will you go on being idle
Behold, I have grown old and you have not learned any craft
and what will you do in your end? Go and learn trade and be
a merchant and earn much money, and he gave him much money
And he went overseas and conducted trade and earned much
And on his return, robbers set upon him and took everything
that he had, and he came to his father naked and barefoot

His father saw this and said to him, my son, woe is me for you that you remain
empty of everything; if you had studied Torah, they would not
be able to take it from you, as it is said: For they are our life
and the length of our days; and you left eternal life and engaged in temporary life
Therefore it is said
And a man wrestled with him, and all his property was not significant
in his eyes, as if he had nothing, and this is what is said

With God's help, Tuesday, 22nd of Adar II, 5662
To the excellence of my dear friend and companion, the complete and inclusive sage,
The honorable Rabbi Yosef Chaim, may his Rock protect and sustain him,
After greetings as is due to those who love his good name, behold his precious letter has reached me
In its time, and I rejoiced to greet the peace of his pure soul, and regarding
What he wrote to me about the matter of R' Eliyahu, may his Rock protect and sustain him,
Behold, I have already written to him at length via the special messenger
Whom I sent to him yesterday, and it has surely already reached his hand,
And God willing, when I arrive there, I will speak with him face to face
Regarding the entire aforementioned matter in detail, for writing cannot contain everything.
And now I shall be brief and depart in peace, life, and blessing, much peace.
Your faithful servant, who seeks your peace and welfare at all times,
The humble one,
Sasson ⟦illegible⟧
On the guard of his command, I have kept to inform him
That regarding the sum of five pounds that he sent me by
The messenger, I received them with great joy and many thanks.
Regarding the matter of R' Avraham HaKohen, may his Rock protect and sustain him, of which he wrote to me
In his aforementioned letter, behold, I have already spoken with him harshly and he
Persists in his rebellion and does not want to listen to the voice of teachers, and I
Do not have the power in my hand to force him more than this, and what I have done
I did for the sake of his exalted honor, and now his honor shall see what
To do with him, for I have withdrawn my hand from this matter
Entirely, and it is not my desire to deal with this further, for he is
A stiff-necked man and has no remedy except through suffering,
And may the Blessed Name put in his heart to return in complete repentance,
And remove from him the heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh,
And peace be upon Israel and upon the Rabbis and upon all those joined
To them, as is the soul of your faithful servant,
The writer with a broken and contrite heart,
Expecting the salvation of the Lord soon.
