At the end of part II, there are two leaves with "selections" on various topics (leaves 69-70). On p. 69b, the Tzemach Tzedek quotes the Gaon of Vilna, remarking "I did not merit to understand his holy words". The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that this remark was introduced by the printers in Vilna, and that when the first copies of the book reached Lubavitch, this leaf was hurriedly replaced by a corrected leaf, containing the original phrase "VeEinah Teshuvah" (this is not a refutation).
