He received his letter on Friday — Erev Shabbas Kodesh — together with the wine of the vine — and he greatly enjoyed it. And it reminded him — at that very hour — of the matter of Purim — how from Purim is made a parah [פּוּרִים נַעֲשֶׂה פָּרָה — a play on words — from the letters of Purim one can form Parah — the Red Heifer — alluding to the deep connection between Purim and the month of Adar-Nisan and the preparation for Pesach — a teaching apparently from the Rebbe's letters or conversations that was known among the inner circle] — and he spoke of this with the above-mentioned Rabbi Nussun — that how much we must give thanks to Hashem Yisborach that such wonders have been revealed in this generation — that in such a small letter there are mentioned such awesome secrets — that Purim is a preparation for Pesach and so forth. And in truth it is the wonders of Hashem. And one must remind oneself every time anew of the great and wondrous chesed that Hashem Yisborach did with them through him — of blessed memory — to reveal to them such Torah of chesed — one after another. For awesome is He — Hashem Yisborach — what He does with them. And there is no leisure now to extend on this. And afterwards — on the morning of Purim — before the prayer — he received the sum that was sent — may Hashem repay his deed — and also his letter and the mishloach manos. And also yesterday he heard a little — that it was heard in Tultchin — that they were very joyful on Shushan Purim — with all of this — and it was a comfort. Now my son — be strong and resolute — to go in his holy ways — of blessed memory — and to rejoice in His salvation always. And express your conversation every day — and so forth. And the rest of the day — let it be in joy.
And he will receive the letter to Rabbi Chayyim Katz — and within it a letter to Rabbi Ephraim of blessed memory — and let him urge to send them immediately in the first post — without delay. And if he wishes — he may add a little. And likewise it befits him — that he also greet him with love — and request him to please reply to him immediately with a clear answer on his words — as he requested there. And certainly he will do everything on the very best side — for this letter is very urgent to reach there quickly. And may Hashem Yisborach save him to receive from there an answer quickly. And may the Good Hashem complete for him for good. More than this there is no leisure to extend.
The words of your father who awaits salvation and intercedes for you.
Nussun of Breslov.
And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love.
