He received his letter yesterday via the post — written before Shavuos — and it did not arrive here until after Isru Chag. And this morning he received another letter via the messenger — the bearer of this letter. And just now he is preoccupied and very rushed to travel in peace to Kremintshak — together with Rabbi Ephraim — may his light shine. But from his strong yearning — he is compelled to reply with no leisure at all — for he has still not prayed Shacharis. And to inform him from the past Shavuos — the time and the parchment do not suffice — you will hear what you will hear from Rabbi Mordechai and Rabbi Nachman if Hashem wills — and you will delight and rejoice in His salvation. And also he spoke with Rabbi Mordechai as per his words — that he hopes to Hashem that on the coming Shavuos coming toward us in peace — you will merit to be with us with Hashem's help. And now my son — be strong and resolute and trust in Hashem — for He will not abandon you — and everything will be turned to good. And you will merit that the horse be subservient to its rider — and you will lead it as you wish [שֶׁיִּהְיֶה הַסּוּס טָפֵל לְרוֹכְבוֹ — a key phrase from the Rebbe's teaching about the m'dameh — the imagination. The horse (*sus*) represents the imagination — a powerful beast that can either carry its rider toward holiness or drag him toward confusion. The work of a person is to mount the horse — to be the rider — so that the imagination serves the holy intellect and not the reverse] — as you will hear and understand the explanation of these words from the above-mentioned. And may there be fulfilled in you and in us and in all Israel — *"u'vikshu es Hashem Eloheihem v'es David malcham"* — "and they will seek Hashem their G-d and David their king" [Hoshea 3:5] — Amen.
