And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love.

The greatness of his pain — to the point of his soul — from the illness of his friend Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — you will understand yourself. May Hashem Yisborach have mercy on him and on us — and send him complete healing quickly. And see immediately in the first post to write him a letter to Uman — to inform him of the good from him. Would that someone inform him of good tidings quickly — Amen so may it be His will. All his letters he received — all of them. And in his letters — the answer to his question is already clarified from himself. And just now there is no leisure to reply — and to Hashem the salvation that He repair everything in His mercies and great compassion — Amen.

My beloved son — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine — peace and all good.

The small letter of yours that was wrapped in the letter of Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — I saw — and you gave life to my soul — in informing me the good news — that praised be G-d — Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — has begun to return to his strength. May Hashem Yisborach complete his healing in completeness. But he has pain that he did not inform him about his child. Just now there is nothing to inform him. Tov l'hodos laHashem that he merited to be here in the middle of the month — and praised be G-d — several of the anshei sh'lomaynu were here — and also Rabbi Ephraim son of Rabbi Naftali — may he live — already came safely here for Rosh Hashanah. And his eyes yearn to see him in life and peace. And all the anshei sh'lomaynu — come they will come — in joy — so that it be good for them forever. This is his comfort in his poverty — for certainly you will acknowledge his good forever — without end and limit — for what he merited you to such a merit that encompasses everything — which it is impossible to express. [בְּוַדַּאי תַּחֲזִיקוּ לִי טוֹבָה לָנֶצַח עַד אֵין סוֹף וְתַכְלִית עַל שֶׁזִּכִּיתִי אֶתְכֶם לִזְכוּת כָּזֶה — one of Reb Nussun's great expressions of his life's work. He is saying: my ultimate comfort in all my poverty and suffering is the knowledge that you — all those whom I drew to Rosh Hashanah in Uman — will acknowledge my good forever without end. The merit of bringing souls to the Rebbe encompasses everything — it is the totality of his mission] And from the greatness of the pressing — it is impossible to extend — and from his love and your yearning he wrote these words.

The words of your father who intercedes on your behalf.

Nussun of Breslov.

[Hebrew: נָתָן מִבְּרֶסְלֶב...]

The words of your father who intercedes on your behalf.

Nussun of Breslov. My beloved son and my precious one — you and your friends the anshei sh'lomaynu who hold onto the good point — to look every day at the eternal purpose — still still you do not know at all what is done in the world — in general and in particular — with each and every one. And if you knew one thousandth of this — you would be joyful all your days with great joy — until from you all the thorns and brambles that press and oppress you at every time — each one according to his matter — would fall away of themselves. What shall I say — what shall I speak — His chesed has prevailed over us — and the truth of Hashem is forever. And behold — enclosed here is a letter for his friend Rabbi Yaakov — and it is said to you too. And likewise this letter too is said to him — and so to all those who truly desire the truth to its truth. And the time of the morning prayer of Erev Yom Kippur 5599 has arrived. And now my son — from this understand the immensity of his love and his yearning for you — to benefit you — to inform you the truth of the words of truth — that he took time for you in such a turbulent moment — between the sweetening of the judgments through the kapparos — and the morning prayer — in haste — on such a rushed day — when all of Israel are trembling and making trembling from the fear of such an awesome and awesome day — one day in the year.
