Overview: Tuesday, Parshas Korach — Kremintshak / Tshehrin. To Yitzchok. On the past Shabbas Kodesh he was here. When he will travel home — he does not know himself. Just now no leisure at all — only from his love and yearning for his letter he wrote him of his wellbeing and his location. May Hashem lead him in peace in the way of truth — in the physical and the spiritual. To write him words of truth and arousal — the time does not suffice. Until here he wrote in Kremintshak — and was delayed for several reasons — and it was not sent from there. And he was detained on the past Shabbas in Krakav — praised be G-d — they spoke greatly — wonders of Hashem — and in particulars he told there the story of Thursday — great are the deeds of Hashem — and it is impossible to express all that is in his heart — especially in the open field — and the hour is very pressing — for the time of the morning prayer has arrived. And it is a wonder in his eyes that he did not find his letter here. For yesterday he came here to Tshehrin — and today Wednesday Parshas Chukas he is sending this letter — and upon arriving here yesterday and not finding his letter — he was standing trembling — and he does not know what to think — may Hashem help that all be for good — and may they merit to understand the ways of Hashem and His wonders and His awesomeness every day and every time and every hour — and to understand from them hints to draw close to Him at every time. He has no leisure to extend at all — only his love and his strong yearning forced him to write these few words. Then: and rejoice my son and all our beloved ones — in every single good point — from the holiness of Israel that we merited. And yesterday he reviewed with one person the Torah "Azamra lelokai b'odi" — and it became in his eyes completely new as if just now — and may Hashem grant us to go with it every day and every time — for it is wondrous — the deeds of Hashem are they — great are the deeds of Hashem — Who did wonders with us. What shall I say — be strong and resolute greatly — every day anew — each one from his place. For all our life-force and our sustaining is in every single movement and every single good point — in what they draw themselves each time from bad to good. And every individual of Israel — however he is — all his life-force and his sustaining is from this — and in the end of all ends — we will all return to Hashem Yisborach through this. And it is impossible to extend about this in the open field.

Peace — to the honor of my beloved son — my dear one — friend of my soul — the veteran rabbinical scholar — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine.

Life and peace — to the honor of my beloved son-in-law — my dear one as my soul — the veteran outstanding rabbinical scholar — our Teacher the Rabbi Baruch — may his light shine. The night before this day I arrived here — and today I am prepared to travel to my home in peace. And in this hour he was engaged to write him a letter — in the meantime he received his letter — and it was a great comfort to him. Just now it is impossible to extend — for he is very preoccupied — and if Hashem wills — when they gather together — they will speak together of His chesed and His wonders Yisborach — that He did with them in general and in particular. *"Illu finu malei shirah"* — "were our mouth full of song" [אִלּוּ פִינוּ מָלֵא שִׁירָה — from the Nishmas prayer of Shabbas and Yom Tov — expressing the impossibility of adequately thanking Hashem for His wonders] and so forth. So may He add His chesed like this and like this — and may He not forsake them forever — until they merit to return to Him Yisborach in completeness — in their living lives — swiftly and quickly. And from the greatness of the pressing — it is impossible to extend at all. And abundant peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love. The words of your father who writes in haste.
