The bearer of this letter is very pressed just now. And I do not know what to write to you. What has happened here — Rabbi Nachman of Tulchin will tell you a little. Be strong — my son — and be strong — and rejoice your soul in all that you can — and remove from yourself the multitude of thoughts and worries and preoccupations. Remember that all is vanity — and there is no time at all — and even if even so what is being done with you is being done — we have an old Father — and we are confident in His great power — for it is great [יֵשׁ לָנוּ אָב זָקֵן — "we have an old Father" — a Talmudic phrase of trust in the Heavenly Father — here applied to both Hashem and to the Rebbe himself — the "old Father" whose immense spiritual power continues to sustain and support those who lean on him even after his passing]. And one must return to this well in one's heart every time. And since I know that you are preparing to be here for some upcoming Shabbas Kodesh — therefore there is no need to extend more. And please retrieve the little wheel [רֶעדֶילֶי — Yiddish: the small wheel or gear — from the clock mechanism] from my clock [זֵייגֶירִיל — Yiddish: clock or watch — from the German *Zeiger*] that is with you — and see to have it repaired and brought here. And if it cannot be repaired before your arrival — bring it here as it is — for I need it very greatly. And may Hashem make you successful — in this and in the next — and may you merit to spend your days in Torah and the service of Hashem.
