He received his letter — together with the sum of five gold coins. May Hashem Yisborach have mercy on him and strengthen him and sustain him — to engage in Torah and prayer and good deeds all the days of his life. And what you are engaging with his holy books in order — is very very precious in his eyes — for it is his life for eternity. And he greatly desires that he also accustom himself to engage with what Hashem Yisborach granted him to explain and to innovate in them. And the essential — that he merit to go in them — to pray with every Torah — until he merits to guard it and to do it and to fulfil it. For this is the essential. For now — it is good to give thanks to Hashem for the past — and to strengthen oneself in joy with every single good point. In particular what they merited — to such lights — to such precious and holy healings — to such deep counsels — what shall he say to him my beloved son — a fraction of a thousandth of a myriad of what is in his heart about this. If Hashem wills — when he multiplies his study in his holy books and in what they explained in them — and multiplies in prayer — he hopes to Hashem that He will open his heart in His Torah — and then he will also understand in this world a fraction of the edge of His greatness — and the greatness of His holy Torah — through which one can understand the greatness of our Creator Yisborach. And more than this — he will merit in the World to Come.
And he will receive attached here a letter to Akerman — and should send it properly. And if he wishes — let him also add to greet them and to write to them some words from his heart — so that they should receive from one another. For all the letters that go in the world from here to there and from there to here — all their root is only from the letters of holiness between Israel — such as she'elos u'teshuvos in the laws and judgments of the Torah. All the more so — she'elos u'teshuvos and explanations in the holy study of the fulfilment of the Torah — to strengthen and to fortify and to arouse and to counsel for good the heart of one's friend and one's disciples. And also he greatly desires to receive some information from Lvov — therefore if he still has no information — he should see to write cleverly to Brod to Rabbi Yaakov Hirtz — or to Lvov — to ask them what is this — for at any rate they should have replied whether they received his letter and what happened there. He earnestly requests that he not be remiss in this — for this matter is very great without limit. May Hashem begin and complete for them for good — Amen so may it be His will.
The words of your father who awaits salvation.
Nussun of Breslov.
And may Hashem Yisborach send complete healing to his wife — may she live — and guard her from doctors — then it is good for her — and she will receive complete healing from heaven.
And greet all our anshei sh'lomaynu. And in particular his dear friend our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — the grandson of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — zacher tzaddik livrachah. And read together with him this letter. And tell him that also to him these words are said — and there is no need to repeat them. And strengthen him to be here at any rate on Chanukah coming upon us for good. And more than this — he will send him words of truth by word of mouth via Rabbi Nachman — if Hashem wills.
And greet his friend our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — the grandson of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe. And tell him: it is fitting for him to come here as a korban todah — a thanksgiving offering — for the salvation of his brother — may his light shine. And may Hashem save him from the distress and the poverty of his soul — which is a complete salvation — and greater and more — than the salvation of his brother — for one who truly takes to heart to look upon his eternal purpose. For the essential mercy is to illuminate the true da'as upon one's soul — to know in one's heart well every day — that Hashem is G-d — to fulfil: "v'yada'ta hayom vahashevosa el l'vavecha ki Hashem hu ha'Elokim." [Devarim 4:39] Until he merits through this to come out from all the sins and the flaws — which are the essential burden and exile — may the Merciful One protect. Happy is one who is wise about the poverty of his soul and his weakness — to support it and to sustain it through the healings already known to him — and to travel with his weak soul to the true doctors and the true healers — who know how to heal it — who engage in this in truth — and who are well versed in this very very well — with wondrous and very deep wisdom — according to the time and the season. May Hashem sustain him and all of them — until they merit to be as His will in truth — Amen so may it be His will.
