בָּרוּךְ הַשֵּׁם, יוֹם ד' חַיֵּי שָׂרָה תקצ"ד.
דַּע בְּנִי חֲבִיבִי, כִּי הַמַּלְבּוּשׁ נִגְמַר בְּיוֹם ב', וְהַיּוֹם הִתְפַּלַּלְתִּי בּוֹ פַּעַם רִאשׁוֹן, וְהוּא מְתֻקָּן וְטוֹב לְפָנַי. יְשַׁלֵּם ה' פָּעָלְךָ, תְּהִי מַשְׂכֻּרְתְּךָ שְׁלֵמָה מֵעִם ה', שֶׁתִּזְכֶּה לְהָסִיר מֵעָלֶיךָ הַבְּגָדִים צוֹאִים, וּלְהַלְבִּישׁ אוֹתְךָ מַחֲלָצוֹת. וּמֵחֲמַת שֶׁלֹּא קִבַּלְתִּי מִכְתָּבְךָ עֲדַיִן, אֵין בְּפִי מִלָּה לִכְתֹּב לְךָ עַתָּה, גַּם כְּבָר כָּתַבְתִּי לְךָ הַרְבֵּה הַרְבֵּה שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ דַּי לְהַחֲיוֹת עַצְמְךָ וּלְשַׂמֵּחַ נַפְשְׁךָ תָּמִיד, רַק חֲזַק וֶאֱמַץ.

To: My dear son, my beloved one. [Yitzchok]

Know, my beloved son — that
 the garment was completed on Monday
 [הַמַּלְבּוּשׁ נִגְמַר — Reb Nussun has received a
 new tallis katan or prayer garment, made with Yitzchok's financial
 contribution. The Monday completion and Wednesday first use mark specific
 days of gratitude]
 — and today I prayed in it for the first time — and it is fine and good
 before me. May Hashem repay your act — may your reward be complete from
 Hashem — that you merit
 to remove from yourself the soiled garments — and to be
 clothed in festal robes
 [לְהָסִיר מֵעָלֶיךָ הַבְּגָדִים צוֹאִים, וּלְהַלְבִּישׁ
 אוֹתְךָ מַחֲלָצוֹת — Zechariah 3:4: "Remove the soiled garments from him
 — and he said to him: See, I have removed your iniquity from you — and I
 will clothe you with festal robes." The vision of the High Priest Yehoshua
 standing before the divine messenger — accused by the adversary — and
 having his soiled garments removed and replaced with festal robes as an act
 of divine vindication and purification. The physical garment Yitzchok helped
 provide becomes the occasion for the deepest spiritual blessing: that he too
 will have his spiritual *bigadim tzoa'im* — the garments of iniquity — removed
 and replaced with *machalatzos* — the radiant festal robes of the purified
 and vindicated]
 [Zechariah 3:4].
 And since I have not yet received your letter — there is no word in my mouth
 to write you now. And I have already written you very, very much — which is
 sufficient to revive yourself and gladden your soul always. Only be strong
 and resolute.

The words of your father.

Nussun of Breslov.

[Translator's Note: Overview: Wednesday, Parshas Chayei Sarah — the same week as
 Letter 118. The garment Yitzchok helped fund is completed — Reb Nussun has
 prayed in it for the first time. The material gift occasions the deepest
 spiritual blessing: *l'hasir me'alecha habgadim tzoa'im u'l'halvish oscha
 machalatzos* — the vision of Zechariah 3:4, Yehoshua the High Priest having
 his soiled garments of iniquity removed and replaced with festal robes of
 divine vindication.

 his spiritual iniquity-garments too will be removed and replaced with
 radiant festal robes.]
