This letter explains that Yidden are compassionate and giving by nature, since their souls are drawn from Hashem's attributes, in which chesed prevails over judgment and tzimtzum. Tzedakah flowing from that innate kindness is called the "deed" of tzedakah; true avodah means giving far beyond one's natural compassion.
