Know my beloved son — that he arrived here to Berdichev on the past Tuesday. And he will remain here for the coming holy Shabbas — may Hashem Yisborach grant them to receive the holy Shabbas as befitting. And everywhere one comes — and in particular here — one hears cries and sighs and sounds of wants — almost without measure. And one who understands hears from all of them hints — that there is no place to flee from the afflictions — G-d protect us — and from all the lacks — except to Hashem Yisborach — to the Torah and to the prayer. And even one who does not fulfil this as befitting — must strengthen himself to rejoice in his portion — that he knows at least something of this — and accustom himself to walk in the ways of truth that our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — the memory of the righteous and holy one for a blessing — brought to light. And to give thanks for the past — for all the expansions found within the troubles and the distress themselves — and to rejoice in them — and to request for the future. If he were to tell — how much and how much one must go in this — pages of parchment would run out. Be strong my son — and be strong — for Hashem is still with you and thinking of your rectification — and certainly He will not abandon you. And begin now to long for the holiness of the holy Rosh Hashana — for the holiness of the holy gathering. And be very accustomed to the books of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — the memory of the righteous one for a blessing — and in what they merited to explain and to make new in them — and you will find rest for your soul — to strengthen yourself every day in Torah and conversation which is prayer — and to strengthen yourself in joy in all the ways of his holy counsels — however it is — and to await salvation always. For Hashem will never abandon — la shavek v'la sh'vak.
