Praised be Hashem — the illness has eased from upon him — and he is returning to his strength little by little. In His mercies may He sustain him and complete his healing in completeness quickly — Amen so may it be His will.
Today he received his letter. And even though he had great pain from the known matter — that the obstacles are spreading out so greatly — even so it was a great comfort to him that he received some information from this at any rate. And he hopes to Hashem that He will complete His own. And everything will be well established with Hashem's help — for la shavik v'la shavik — He does not abandon and has not abandoned. [לָא שָׁבִיק וְלָא שָׁבַק — Aramaic — one of Reb Nussun's characteristic expressions of unshakeable trust — He does not abandon in the present — and has never abandoned in the past. There is a double assurance here: present and past simultaneously] And certainly they will strive there on the very best side — in a way that the merchandise will go out in peace from there and proceed to its place of importance — and to Hashem the salvation. And behold — in his letter you did not mention whether you will be here — and he will wait here for him until Wednesday of this week. And afterwards he hopes to Hashem that He will give him strength to travel to Tirahowitz. And more than this he has no strength to extend — and he will hear everything from the mouth of the bearer of this letter — his grandson Nachman — may he live — who will inform him verbally of everything.
The words of your father.
Nussun of Breslov.
And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love. And in particular to his dear friend as his soul — the veteran — the holy fruit — our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — may he live — the grandson of the pride of our strength — our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — the memory of the righteous and holy one for a blessing. Hashem Yisborach knows that he prays for him — that he merit to recognise the power and the merit of his awesome grandfather — for this is his good in this world and in the World to Come — forever.
