Your messenger arrived here — at the house of the righteous woman Maras Adel — may she live [מָרַת אָדְיל — Maras Adel — the pious widow of the Rebbe himself — who lived in Breslov. Reb Nussun was sitting at her table for the morning meal when the messenger arrived — a touching detail that places us in the warm intimacy of the Breslov household] — while I was sitting at the table at the morning meal — and I received immediately the letter sent via my son Rabbi Shachna — may his light shine. And I greatly gave life to my soul with the letter from my daughter and son-in-law — may they live. And the letter from Thursday I have still not received. And behold — on Motzai Shabbas this past — immediately after Havdalah — I traveled here to attend to my affairs for several reasons. And according to my view — I will stay here until Tuesday coming upon us for good. Therefore — if you can come here easily tomorrow — that would be good. And at present my mind is not clear at all to extend in words of truth and affection.
And let him receive the enclosed letter for his son-in-law — and strive to send it via a trusted person — and also add his own writing as he wishes. And inform me whether he sent my letter to them in Brayhilov [בְּרָאִיהְלוֹב — Brayhilov — another community in the Breslov circle whose members were anxiously awaiting a letter from Reb Nussun during his long exile in Nemirov] — for it is a great mitzvah — for I know they are greatly awaiting to see a letter from me. And behold — until now His mercies — Yisborach — have helped me that all was well established with Hashem's help. And also — praised be G-d — we rejoiced a little on Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah and Shabbas Bereishis — and we spoke words of truth — and all was in peace — praised be G-d. May Hashem Yisborach complete His salvation — that I return to my home here in Breslov in peace quickly. And from the greatness of the preoccupation and the pressing of the bearer — it is impossible to extend as is fitting. And there is still a vision for the appointed time to extend the speech more. [cf. Chavakuk 2:3]
The words of your father who awaits salvation.
Nussun of Breslov.
Overview: Sunday, Parshas Noach — Breslov. To Yitzchok. The messenger arrived at the house of the righteous woman Maras Adel — while he was sitting at the table at the morning meal — and received immediately the letter sent via his son Rabbi Shachna. And he greatly gave life to his soul with the letter from his daughter and son-in-law. The letter from Thursday not yet received. On Motzai Shabbas this past — immediately after Havdalah — he traveled here to attend to his affairs for several reasons. According to his view he will stay until Tuesday — if Yitzchok can come easily tomorrow that would be good. At present his mind is not clear to extend in words of truth and affection. Let him receive the enclosed letter for his son-in-law and strive to send it via a trusted person — add his own writing — inform him whether he sent the letter to them in Brayhilov for it is a great mitzvah. Until now His mercies helped him — all well established with Hashem's help. And praised be G-d they rejoiced a little on Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah and Shabbas Bereishis — spoke words of truth — all in peace. May Hashem complete His salvation that he returns to Breslov quickly. Impossible to extend. There is still a vision for the appointed time.
