Today I arrived here to the congregation of Uman at the time of the morning prayer — and I had not yet prayed — and I was very rushed to pray — in the midst of this the post brought me your letter — and I received it immediately and read it right away before the prayer — and it was a comfort to me — in seeing that his yearning was fulfilled — that his letter should reach him the very moment he arrived here in peace. And just now there is no leisure at all to reply. He understood from his letter the distress of his heart and the many expansions that Hashem Yisborach broadens for him at every time. And he has already anticipated that only through this one must give oneself life at every time — as our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe said on the verse *"batzar hirchaVTA li"* — "in distress You have broadened for me." [Tehillim 4:2] And praised be G-d — he was in Berdichev — and blessed is Hashem — all is well established. And just now his mind is strong to remain here for the Yom Tov of Shavuos coming upon us for good. May Hashem have mercy that it be for good for all of us. And your strong desire to be with us — may Hashem accept it as if you were with us. And strengthen yourself to be in joy always — in particular on the awesome Yom Tov of Shavuos coming upon us for good. And the post is very pressing — and it is impossible to extend at all.

Overview: Tuesday, the 38th day of the Sefirah — Uman. To Yitzchok and all his household. Today arrived here to the congregation of Uman at the time of the morning prayer — had not yet prayed — was very rushed to pray — in the midst of this the post brought his letter — received it immediately and read it right away before the prayer — and it was a comfort. His yearning was fulfilled — that his letter should reach him the very moment he arrived here in peace. Just now there is no leisure at all to reply. He understood from his letter the distress of his heart and the many expansions that Hashem broadens for him at every time. He has already anticipated that only through this one must give oneself life at every time — as our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe said on the verse "batzar hirchaVTA li." And praised be G-d — he was in Berdichev — and all is well established. And just now his mind is strong to remain here for the Yom Tov of Shavuos coming upon us for good. May Hashem have mercy that it be for good for all of us. And your strong desire to be with us — may Hashem accept it as if you were with us. And strengthen yourself to be in joy always — in particular on the awesome Yom Tov of Shavuos coming upon us for good. And the post is very pressing — and it is impossible to extend at all.
