Overview: Friday, Parshas B'har — the 30th of the Omer counting — Uman — 5603. To Rabbi Avraham Ber and Rabbi Abeli. No leisure to extend. Know that he arrived in peace here to Uman last week on Tuesday — and intends to remain until Lag Ba'Omer — and then travel to Teplik for Shabbas and from there home. Upon arriving here he found the oil had run out — and the ner tamid was not burning at the holy tziyun. He has come to inform them — see to bring oil — if they come themselves or send money via his son Rabbi Yitzchok in Tultchin — so that the ner tamid not be extinguished — G-d forbid. For this is the sweetening of the judgments for them and for the entire holy gathering. He compelled himself to take oil on credit until they come and repay. He is a great debtor — he awaits the salvation of Hashem. Rabbi Nachman has not yet arrived — it may be that he is engaging there in the book Likutay Aitzos. His yearning is very very strong that it come out to light — but it is very hard to bear more debts. If Hashem wills — when they come to Breslov for Shavuos — they will speak face to face — and the counsel of Hashem will stand. He trusts they will strive for the benefit of the work with all their strength. For our work is the merit of the many for generations — very very great and mighty — very deep and deep — who can find it. They must support and strengthen him greatly.

Mazal Tov! His daughter — your sister — may she live — gave birth this past night to a baby boy — a good mazal. May it be His will that it be for all of us a good mazal — for joy and gladness — and complete salvation in all that each person needs to be saved — Amen so may it be His will.

May Hashem Yisborach grant him and him and all of them — that they merit in any case from now — to prepare themselves properly for the coming holy festival of Shavuos — to pour out their hearts like water before Hashem — how far we are from the holiness of Shavuos — which is a great and refined intellect — and great and simple mercies — very great mercies. Perhaps He will be entreated — that they merit in any case from now — to place all their longing and yearning and will and hope — to draw close to Him in truth — every day anew — in every place where he is. And however it passes over each person — let him seek Hashem Yisborach from there — every day — in every place where he is. For "leit re'uta tava d'is'aved" — no good will is ever lost. And let them not set gold as their foolish trust — G-d forbid. For all is vanity. And whether a person has money or not — he passes his days equally. And the essential is the good will.

And may Hashem Yisborach grant them the joy of Shavuos — and may they rejoice in the words of His Torah and His mitzvos forever and ever — for they alone are our life. The words of your father. Nussun of Breslov. Overview: Friday, Erev Shabbas — the 41st of the counting — Breslov — 5603. To his beloved son. Mazal Tov! His daughter — your sister — gave birth this past night to a baby boy — a good mazal. May it be for all of us a good mazal — for joy and gladness and complete salvation — Amen. May Hashem grant them to prepare properly for the coming holy festival of Shavuos — to pour out their hearts like water before Hashem — how far we are from the holiness of Shavuos — which is a great and refined intellect — and great and simple mercies. Perhaps He will be entreated — that they merit from now — to place all their longing and yearning and will — to draw close to Him in truth — every day anew — in every place where he is. For "leit re'uta tava d'is'aved" — no good will is ever lost. Let them not set gold as their foolish trust — for all is vanity — and the essential is the good will. And may Hashem grant them the joy of Shavuos — to rejoice in the words of His Torah and His mitzvos forever — for they alone are our life.
