And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love — and in particular to his friend of his soul and his heart — engraved in his mind and heart at every time — the veteran our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — grandson of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — zacher tzaddik livrachah. Let him speak to his heart — that he be here on Chol HaMoed coming upon us — as his aunt the righteous Marat Adil — may she live — wrote to him — and certainly it will be for him a comfort and a restorer of the soul — in this world and in the World to Come.

Great peace — to my beloved son — my dear one — may he live — with all his household — life and peace and all good — Amen Selah.

He received his letter — and this day Hashem made — that his friend Rabbi Leibele — son-in-law of Rabbi Reuven — came and brought the good news — praised be G-d — that he had a good fever toward life and peace. May Hashem complete for them that he return to his strength swiftly — Amen so may it be His will. And also he told him of the wonders of the salvation of his young son Michol — may he live — about the seed that they extracted from his ear — and great is this last miracle more than the first — of the birth of his older son — may he live. How great are the chasadim of Hashem and His wonders — not according to our sins did He deal with us. Therefore from now — be strong and resolute my beloved son — to go in the words of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — to look every time at the expansions and the salvations — and to give yourself life with every single good point that one snatches every day and day. And as he spoke with them here about the verse *"im b'fido lahen shu'a"* — turn them and turn them over — and so forth. For just now it is impossible to skip over the Gehinnom that is this world — as he said explicitly — except through his holy counsels — the deep and wholesome ones — and very simple — for every single person — whatever his state — in every place and every time and every level and level. [שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר לְדַלֵּג וְלִקְפֹּץ עַל הַגֵּיהִנָּם שֶׁהוּא זֶה הָעוֹלָם — it is impossible to skip over the Gehinnom that is this world — a direct quotation of the Rebbe's own teaching — that this world is itself a kind of Gehinnom — and the only way to navigate it is not by leaping over it but by going through it with the Rebbe's counsels. The counsels are described as deep and wholesome and very simple — accessible to every person at every level — for the Rebbe's path is not only for the learned or the advanced but for every Jewish soul] Be strong and strong and trust in Hashem — for He will not abandon you — for all is for your eternal good.

The words of your father who awaits salvation.

Nussun of Breslov. And behold — he is just now preparing himself to travel to Uman in His chesed Yisborach — and in another hour or two he hoped to Hashem that he will travel in peace. And according to what appears — he must spend Shabbas in Teplik — and in His chesed Yisborach he will arrive in Uman on Monday or Tuesday — and to Hashem the salvation. Overview: Tuesday, the 17th of the Omer — Breslov — 5600. To his beloved son and household.
