Overview: Tuesday, after the 11th of Nisan — Breslov — 5603. He received all his letters. Until here His mercies helped — that his word was fulfilled — not to owe more than approximately thirty new rubles until Pesach — in a miraculous way. Good to give thanks. He trusts in Hashem that he will not need to borrow again. From now my son — beware to gladden your soul — in what you know — that such a light illuminates in the world and is hidden from all and glimmers to us. We are not opponents — G-d forbid. The essential of the true peace — is when one does not oppose the point of truth — the light of the true tzaddik. Outside of this — there is no peace in the world. Therefore it is essential to endure bitterness for the sake of this peace. And all this is the aspect of the maror that one must eat with Pesach and matzah — which are very high and exalted minds — which make peace between Israel and their Father in Heaven. Through us precisely — through eating the maror and the matzah and arranging the Seder — His divinity is revealed in all the worlds. And behold — these are now the holy days about which it is said: "Kol Dodi hine ze ba — m'daleg al he'harim m'kapetz al ha'giva'os." The mountains and hills are the aspect of obstacles that prevent drawing close to Hashem. The Holy One leaps over them all. He stands behind our wall and looks through the windows. Even a partition of iron does not separate between Israel and their Father in Heaven. And also we must leap over the mountains — for in this world one must only leap and jump. As he told them in the name of our Rebbe — that the tzaddik said before his death: "ibber geshpringen." Through his great power — one can leap and jump over all. And with this way one can dance almost every day. And truly — in all of this — only to dance — not to think at all — "Gott iz mit unz." And remember what he — of blessed memory — said before his holy passing: "az ich gei far aych — vos hot ir tzu zorgin." For even though I am so corrupted — even so I am not an opponent against this — after such controversy and mockery. "Va'anachnu b'shem Hashem Elokeinu nazkir — nafshenu k'tzippor niml'tah — nagila v'nismecha bishu'aso."

This very hour he received his letter. And although great was his pain at the beginning of reading it — for he hoped to receive good tidings — he reconsidered and strengthened himself in trust in His chesed — for He is the One Who causes pain and binds up — and in Him he trusts — that in the wonders of His chasadim He will send quickly a complete healing to his son Dovid Tzvi — may he live — healing of the soul and healing of the body.

And you my beloved son — do not be distressed — only strengthen yourself to convert this too to joy. For did he not already write to you — that it is essential to endure a little bitterness — for it is impossible to receive the peace — which is the healing of the soul and the body — except through bitterness. But Hashem Yisborach has great mercy — and casts his sins behind His back — and sends bitterness only a little — according to his capacity. And in the chasadim of Hashem and His wonders — He will sweeten and annul also this bitterness — and send him a complete healing from Heaven quickly. And my eyes are lifted to Hashem in prayer and supplication — may He send His help from the holy place — and from Tziyon support him. And I trust — that soon during Chol HaMoed — I will hear good tidings from him.

Good to give thanks to Hashem — Who already preceded with healings for all. For through the letter sent via Rabbi Dovid — through this Hashem helped him to write in the book what Hashem illuminated his eyes regarding Pesach. Great are the deeds of Hashem. And in Him he trusts — through the power and merit of our awesome Master — the memory of the righteous and holy one for a blessing — that all will turn for good. Only be very strong and bold to rejoice on this holy festival — in particular at the Seder. And drink with a good heart your wine of the four cups of salvation — for with Hashem there is chesed — and with Him abundant redemption. And very greatly exalted are His ways — but one must believe that all is for good — for His goodness and chasadim are never interrupted. And in particular — praised be G-d — we have someone to lean on in this world and in the World to Come. And believe that also you are inscribed in his heart — of blessed memory. And he knows your pains — and engages in your healing and your salvation forever. Trust in Hashem and pray to Him.

And strengthen yourself in the joy of the festival — for just now you need specifically to strengthen yourself more in joy — which is the healing for all wounds and all illness. In particular on this holy festival — about which it is said: "ha'shir yihyeh lachem k'leil hispakdesh chag" — "leil shimurim" — this night of Pesach — on which all ten types of melody and song are aroused — from which all the healings — materially and spiritually — for you and for us and for all of Israel — Amen so may it be His will. And because of the great preoccupation of the entry of Pesach and the holy Shabbas — it is impossible to extend.
