He received his letter. May Hashem Yisborach fulfil for him doubled and redoubled — wealth and honor and life. And above all — may He open for him His good treasury — the treasury of the fear of heaven — which is the essential truth of life. [אוֹצַר יִרְאַת שָׁמַיִם — the treasury of the fear of heaven. Reb Nussun's formulation is characteristic: he lists wealth, honor, and life — but then says "above all" — and the single thing that transcends all the rest is the fear of heaven. This is the true treasury — the one that cannot be taken away — and the one that makes all the others meaningful] And greet all the anshei sh'lomaynu with love.

And urge his friend Rabbi Yaakov — that he come here for the nearby Shabbas Kodesh. For it is close in his mind to travel afterwards to Uman — with Hashem's help. And it is certainly fitting for him to see his face — after Hashem Yisborach helped him to rise from his illness — and all his sins were forgiven — and he became a new creature. [וְנִמְחֲלוּ כָּל עֲווֹנוֹתָיו וְנַעֲשָׂה בְּרִיָּה חֲדָשָׁה — all his sins were forgiven and he became a new creature — this is the teaching of the Talmud (Yevamos 48b) that when a person converts — his past is wiped clean. Reb Nussun applies this to recovery from a serious illness: the person who arises from the threshold of death has been in effect reborn — and all his past is forgiven. This makes it not just appropriate but urgent for him to come and connect with the holy community anew] Certainly it would have been fitting for him to come here immediately when he arose from his illness. But the past is gone — just now — since you wrote that he desires to come — therefore it is fitting to urge the one who urges — that he urge in this.
