The letter is a warning to a father to pity his daughter "and give her what is imposed upon him according to the Torah – I am sure that he will give room for my words… God will deliver him with salvation and mercy soon."
Rabbi Meshulam Zusia begins the letter with the words, "I am here to urge him for his good," insinuating that by not listening to him, he would be punished.
