When the [book] Toldot [ya’akov yosef] was printed and [the author] R. Jacob Joseph wished to sell it in Berditchev no one wanted to buy it. So the Berditchever Rabbi purchased a large number of [copies of the book] Toldot himself because he was afraid that the [author of the] Toldot would take offense against the city and even harm it, heaven forbid.
