To Mrs. Mery (see note 1),
Greetings and blessings,
The republication of the Sefer HaRikmah* (see note 2) is still delayed, and I think it is important to publish the notes that were added to it. I remember your husband, may he rest in peace — his rigor toward himself and especially regarding what he intended to publish. Overall, these notes must therefore be of value. From this standpoint, it is important to publish them as soon as possible, without waiting for the republication of the entire Sefer HaRikmah*, of which a few copies still exist, even if they are few in number.
Even if these notes need to be reworked, it suffices, in accordance with the common practice in such cases, to indicate that these are commentaries, some of which may require further refinement. I think it is preferable to publish them as they are rather than to wait for their final presentation, if no other option is available.
Knowing your husband's handwriting, I think it will be easy to copy these notes, and there will therefore be few errors to correct. As a result, their publication will have a limited cost. I would like to know the approximate number of pages this work represents.
I wish you a pleasant and healthy summer, as well as good news of everything that has been said.
