Overview: Tuesday, Parshas Balak — Uman — 5602. To his beloved son. He received his letter. There it said about the circumcision — that they merited that a son was born in good fortune to the grandson of our Master — of blessed memory. And they rejoiced in this on Thursday in the evening. May Hashem help that it be for a good sign — that they merit that through this his salvation and their salvation spring forth among the holy people of Israel. On the past Sunday he received his letter — and also today with a small letter from Yass — and it was a great comfort. And also what you wrote to Yass was a very great comfort — for he awaits that they will engage in this work with Hashem's help. Therefore letters must be regularly exchanged with the man from there. And he intends to travel on the coming Thursday — if Hashem wills — to Tirahowitz — and from there for the coming Shabbas to Tshehrin. Be strong and strong — every day anew. Remember well that Hashem makes newnesses at every time — and all of it is for good. And in the end Hashem will certainly save — not through our righteousness — but in the merit of the great eshel that is in the heights on high. And it is upon us to praise and to rejoice every day — that we are not opponents against our true hope — which is the true tzaddik in whom we shelter. And all the more so — that we merit to engage in his holy books. And what you wrote from the Torah "ki m'rachaman y'nahaigem" (Likutai Moharan part 2 ch. 7) — gave him very very great life. Would that this heart of yours would be always — every day — to engage in his holy books — for they are your life forever. Hafoch bahem v'hafoch bahem — for there is no better measure than them.

[Hebrew: אֲהוּבִי בְּנִי חֲבִיבִי....]

Know that great is Hashem and His greatness has no end. And in His wonders which He performs with all flesh — and in renewing in His goodness every day the act of creation — He arranged with him that he was delayed here in the congregation of Uman for the holy Shabbas — after he had already been prepared in his mind for several days to travel on the past Thursday to Tirahowitz. But many are the thoughts in a man's heart — and the counsel of Hashem — it will stand — and from Hashem the steps of a man are established. And in particular he — the wretched and the poor one — who does not know at all where they are leading him — as he informed him in his previous letters. But this is his consolation in his poverty — and this is his hope and his joy — in what he casts himself on Hashem Yisborach — and he relies on Him alone in truth every single day — and in particular in the matter of the travels. And it is impossible to explain what is in his heart in all this. Great are the deeds of Hashem — and He multiplies doing good with all flesh and spirit. And praised be G-d — as appears to be correct before him in several revealed matters — why he was delayed here until now — besides the hidden matters that belong to Hashem our G-d. And now it is in his mind — if Hashem wills — to travel this week to Tirahowitz. May Hashem lead him in His righteousness.

And praised be G-d — he received his small note via Rabbi Naftali — may his light shine. And from yourself — my beloved son — you will understand how much and how much you gave his soul life with this small letter — in what you informed him there of their friend Rabbi Nachman — may he live — that he received the merchandise through great miracle — praised be the living G-d. Even if he had not been delayed here except for this — it would have been enough for him. For had he been on his road then — he would not have had this information until after several days. And in truth — he needs to know this beforehand — to gladden his soul with such good news. May Hashem Yisborach always cause him to hear good tidings — and in particular since it is essential for their work that he know this here before his departure. Good to give thanks to Hashem every single day on every single detail. Nussun of Breslov. Overview: Monday, Parshas Pinchas — Uman — 5602. To his beloved son.
