Written at its end: הצ”ק [הצעטיל קטן] הזה נשלח לנו ע”י הגה”צ מו”ה מרדכי שליט”א האבד”ק בילגורייא והגליל יצ”ו בן לכ”ק מרן אדמו”ר זצ”ל נבג”מ, וכתב אז שרצון אביו הקדוש הארי החי זצ”ל שגם אנשי שלומו יתנהגו כן [This Tzetel Katan was sent to us by the Tzaddik Gaon Mordechai Shlita the Av Beit Din of Bilgoray and the vicinity son of Maran the Admor, and he wrote then that his father's wish was that his Anshei Shlomo also conduct themselves in this manner].  On the margins of the sheet: copied by the young Moshe Segal Stern on Lag BaOmer 1928 here in Krakow.  Der Belzer Tzetel Katan After the first marriage of Rabbi Yehoshua of Yeroslav, in 1913, before he left the home of his father the Admor the Maharid of Belz to live in Russia near his father-in-law the Admor Rabbi Yosef Meir of Machnovka, who supported him, his father wrote him a Tzetel Katan with guidance and good Hadrachot and gave to him as 'Tzeidah Laderech'. His brother, the Maharam of Bilgoray, copied the sections of the Tzetil and letter including them in a letter to the members of the Belzer Kloiz of Krakow, writing to them:  ” ואמרתי איפוא לא אכחיד האי מרגניתא טבא אשר נמצא תחת ידי, היינו הצעטיל קטן אשר נתנו כ”ק אבי מרן אדמו”ר הרה”צ שליט”א לבנו הוא אחי הר”ר יושיע שליט”א טרם נסעו לפני המלחמה לרוסיא, מלהעתיקו בעדכם, והוא שמור אצלי כי לא נשאר רק גליון זה לפליטה כי השאר נשרפו בבעלזא בתחילת ימי המלחמה, ויען שכ”ק אבי אדמו”ר שליט”א גילה אז דעתו כי יאות שגם חסידיו יתנהגו ע”פ הצעטיל הזה אמרתי המכסה אני מאהבי דבר, והנני מעתיקו לפניכם” [And so I said to myself, I shall not conceal this precious pearl that I possess, namey, the Tzetel Katan that my father, Maran and the Admor Shlita gave to his son, my brother Rabbi Yoshia Shlita, before his journey to Russia prior to the war. [I shall not refrain] from transcribing it for you. It is preserved with me, for only this single sheet remained as a surviving remnant, as the rest were burned in Belz at the beginning of the war. And since my father, the Admor Shlita, expressed his view at the time that it is fitting for his Chassidim as well to conduct themselves according to this Tzetel, I said: 'Shall I hide a matter from my beloved ones?' And I am hereby transcribing it before you].
