 If,when you read this letter, it seems to accord with the practices that you have carried out in past existences, I hope you will make up your minds to lend me your assistance.

[The assistance is that teachings of Buddha attract written documents and leave in history.]

Interpretation (liberal translation)
 If you had read this letter and learned anything, you need to learn the contents from the inside at the heart.
 And you need make up your mind to strengthen your faith.
