Know my beloved son — that at this very hour he arrived in peace to the congregation of Berdichev — about an hour after midday. Until here His abundant mercies and great chasadim that never cease — have helped him — that he passed all this way in peace — praised be G-d. *"Baruch hanosein laya'ef koiach"* — Blessed is He Who gives strength to the weary. [Yeshayahu 40:29] Hashem Yisborach knows the weakness of his strength — and in particular the division of his mind — which is almost without measure and estimation. And who would believe his report — that in such weakness of strength and in such division of mind — and in such dispute and persecutions — he lifts his steps for such journeys and such difficult wanderings. And in all the places that he passed — there passed over him distresses of the famous and the not famous — and it is impossible to express all this in writing. Blessed and blessed is He Who gives strength to the weary — and to such a one without strength — increases power greatly — that he passed the road in peace and tranquility — with Hashem's help. *Illu finu malei shirah* — and so forth.

And praised be G-d — he was on Shabbas Nachamu in Kremenits — and the entire family received him with very great honor. And also from the other Chassidim in the city — many were with him — though not all. And because of the longing of the members of the family — he spoke there praised be G-d many words of his holy Torah. Until their soul nearly went out in the inwardness of their heart — to draw close to us. Until some of them revealed the hidden things of their heart in their mouths. Only the road is far and the obstacles are immense. And many many things prevent all of them — the dispute and the groundless hatred that is upon us — groundlessly — without violence in our palm. And they know and understand well that the truth is with us — but it is difficult for them to bear the noise — together with the other obstacles. And all of this it is impossible to express even verbally — all the more so in writing. For the heart of each and every one is crooked. Only He Yisborach knows the secrets of the world and the hidden things of the thoughts of all that live. And I in my poverty see and understand from afar — that it almost seems explicitly — one can hear the depth of the cry of the heart of each one — to draw close to the true point of truth — but the mountain is high — and the Jordan spreads out to pass to the holiness. What shall we return to Hashem — Who saved and rescued our soul from this — from having — G-d forbid — any division of heart from the true point of truth. So may Hashem continue to increase and to make wondrous His great chesed with us — that we merit to fulfil in truth and in wholeness his holy words — until we merit to arrive quickly at the eternal purpose — as His good will — Amen so may it be His will.

Also he was in Ostraha — and he gave life greatly to the holy lineage of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — his memory for blessing. And he had very many obstacles from traveling there — until he was already despairing of traveling there. And Hashem Yisborach helped him in His mercy — and he traveled there — and they received him with much honor — the famous and great — himself and his sons — and some of his people who were there at the time. And he was there from Wednesday after midday until some hours after Shacharis on Thursday. And the Great Counselor Yisborach sent into his heart to travel from there for Shabbas Kodesh to the congregation of old Konstantín. And so he did — and came there on Friday after midday. And he had great sufferings and confusions in his mind when he entered there — because it is close to our land where they know more from the fire of the dispute. But Hashem Yisborach helped him — that the members of our family received him with great honor — and the other people there were of divided opinion — and some of them were with him. And praised be G-d — the Shabbas passed in peace — but words of Torah were said there only a little. And on Sunday toward evening he left there — and arrived here in peace — as above. Behold he has told them a little of the many — of the sequence of his journey — so that it be for them a memorial. And in particular when Hashem will have mercy and will help them in His chesed to complete their work in peace — then they will understand more the salvation of Hashem and His wonders and chasadim without number — and to Hashem the salvation. At this moment it became known to him that the post is about to leave from here — and he is compelled to cut short.
