The soul and faith are one aspect. And there is a world of faith from which the attribute of faith is taken. And the world of faith itself also has faith in Hashem Yisborach.

And this is the aspect of the root of faith — which is the aspect of the inner depth of faith. And it is also the aspect of the inner depth of the soul. And behold — the writer puts his soul within the writing — in the aspect of: ""I myself — 'nafshi' — my soul — 'kesivas' — wrote — 'yehavis' — gave"" [Shabbos 105a].

And therefore through the writing — the true Tzadik can recognise the soul and the inner depth of the soul and the faith and the root of faith of the writer. And the speech that one speaks with the Tzadik is at a higher level than the writing. For writing is only the action of the soul — and speech is the soul itself. Therefore through speech one can see the very essence of the soul.
