LETTER THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN
Blessed be Hashem  ·  Wednesday, Parshas Toldos — Breslov  ·  Year 5601 (1840)
ToGreat peace — to the honor of my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — and so forth — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may he live — with all his children who go forth from his loins — may they live.

He received his letter today and it was a comfort. In particular what he merited to hear — that you are diligently studying his holy books. This is his portion from all his toil — that he merited to begin to fulfil a little: "v'hoda'tam l'vanecha" — "and you shall make them known to your children." [Devarim 4:9] Would that they merit to fulfil this in completeness as His good will. Be strong my son and strong — to add every day Torah and prayer and good deeds. And "chedvas Hashem yihyeh ma'uzzkecha" — "and the joy of Hashem will be your strength." And gird yourself to gladden your soul in all that you can — for this surpasses everything.

The note — he received it — and it was a comfort that at any rate there has begun to reach him some information from there. For now it is impossible to add more letters to that place — and it is necessary to wait a few more days — perhaps some information will reach from there for good. And afterwards they will take counsel how to conduct themselves — and the counsel of Hashem — it will stand. And already they know that in all the matters — from great to small — in body and soul and money — they have no one to lean on except our Father in heaven. In particular in such a matter that touches. The Master of salvations — Whose thoughts of His heart are to generation and generation — hu hitchil — hu yigmar ba'adeinu l'tovah — He Who began — He will complete for us for good — and we — we do not know what to do — for our eyes are upon You. [II Divrei Hayamim 20:12]

The words of your father who awaits salvation.
