The words of your father — who writes in great haste — from within pain and joy. Joy is embedded in his heart on one side — and so forth. And to Hashem the salvation and the hope — that also the other side — from which the distress and the sighing come — G-d forbid — will also be turned to joy — in the aspect of "sason v'simcha yassig" — "they will attain joy and gladness" — and so forth.

My beloved son — my dear one. He received his letter just now — and the bearer is very urgent. And it was a comfort to him — the comfort of spirit that you receive from his letters — and this is fitting for you. For the earlier letter that he sent through Rabbi Nachman — it was from Hashem Yisborach that He sent beneath his quill these words which he had not thought of — and they flow from several holy Torahs — very very necessary for each person — according to his place and his time. And he was reminded of it now — from within his letter just now — "baruch hamazkir nishkachos" — "blessed is He Who reminds of forgotten things." [A phrase used when something forgotten or overlooked is brought back to mind — expressing gratitude to Hashem Who brings to consciousness what was lying dormant] The words of your father who intercedes for you. Nussun of Breslov. What Hashem Yisborach sent into his heart at these times — which is hinted in the words of our Sages — of blessed memory — who said: (Tractate Erchin 24a) "ein l'hekdesh ela m'komo u'sh'ato" — "the consecrated object has only its place and its time." That is — one who wishes to walk in the straight way — to sanctify and to purify himself — which is the aspect of "hekdesh" — that he wishes to be holy for Hashem — for this he was created — he has only his place and his time. He must look only at that hour and that moment in which he stands now — in his place where he is. For in every hour and in every place — one can remember Hashem Yisborach — and draw close to Him — as we have spoken of this greatly. And this wondrous allusion was newly revealed at these times — and we need it very greatly. May Hashem Yisborach grant them to always fulfil the words of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — the awesome one — the memory of the righteous and holy one for a blessing — and to always search and to find true counsels and ways in his holy words — for each person according to his place and his time. And there is no leisure now to extend further.
