He arrived home in peace — on the eve of the holy Shabbas of Parshas Tetzaveh. And he was in the congregation of Lipovitz — and fixed the time of the wedding of his son — may he live — on Rosh Chodesh Nissan coming upon them for good. And meanwhile the days of Purim came in their times — and in the chasadim of Hashem — we rejoiced in His salvation Yisborach. And just now he is very preoccupied — to prepare himself for the wedding — a good mazal — at such a time close to Pesach. Therefore he informed him all this. And from yourself you will understand — to strive for his benefit in all that is possible — and to send immediately with the possible alacrity. And see to inform him what is in your mind — about the matter of your traveling to Uman for the holy festival of Pesach coming upon them for good. And also to be here as you spoke with him — may Hashem Yisborach lead and guide you in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

And behold — in his home his daughter-in-law is lying on a bed of sickness — for she has a wound in her mouth — and it is difficult to bear the pain. May Hashem Yisborach heal her from Heaven quickly. And also his wife — may she live — became weakened today — at such a time when they need great preparation for the wedding — at such a time close to Pesach. But "kol d'aveid Rachmana l'tav aveid" — all that the Merciful One does is for good. And our eyes are lifted to Him — until He shows us grace — and it will be fulfilled: "v'El Shaddai yitein lanu rachamim" — and He will say to our troubles — enough. May He send complete healing from Heaven quickly to all of them — and save us for His name's sake in all that we need to be saved.

And even now he has no life — except from what he merited — to be saved from the snare of fowlers — from being an opponent against the light of the point of truth that illuminates in all the worlds — mah nashiv laHashem. Be strong my brother and be strong — and also we must fulfil what is said in the holy Zohar: zaka'ah man d'hu b'hahu alma k'amuda takif b'kulah — blessed is one who is in this world like a strong pillar in all — as stated in the introduction to the holy Zohar — for all bodies are mere receptacles — blessed is one who is a receptacle of Torah. And even in every place and level where a person is — he must be like a strong pillar in all — not to despair from crying out and prayer — and to be very strong in every single word of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — of blessed memory — the flowing stream — the source of wisdom. For it is not an empty thing — what passes over every person — in every single day of the numbered days of his vaporous life — who knows — and so forth. Ashreinu — that in this the shadow passes — in this the purgatory — in this the bitterness — we know from such a tzaddik — the living one of worlds — and so forth — who can gladden and give life even to us. And to Hashem the hope — that all will turn to good — nagila v'nismecha bishu'aso. And because of the great urgency and the preoccupation — it is impossible to extend further.

The words of one who loves him in truth forever — and who awaits his reply — swiftly — quickly.
