Know that great is Hashem and His greatness has no end. And in His wonders which He performs with all flesh — and in renewing in His goodness every day the act of creation — He arranged with him that he was delayed here in the congregation of Uman for the holy Shabbas — after he had already been prepared in his mind for several days to travel on the past Thursday to Tirahowitz. But many are the thoughts in a man's heart — and the counsel of Hashem — it will stand — and from Hashem the steps of a man are established. And in particular he — the wretched and the poor one — who does not know at all where they are leading him — as he informed him in his previous letters. But this is his consolation in his poverty — and this is his hope and his joy — in what he casts himself on Hashem Yisborach — and he relies on Him alone in truth every single day — and in particular in the matter of the travels. And it is impossible to explain what is in his heart in all this. Great are the deeds of Hashem — and He multiplies doing good with all flesh and spirit. And praised be G-d — as appears to be correct before him in several revealed matters — why he was delayed here until now — besides the hidden matters that belong to Hashem our G-d. And now it is in his mind — if Hashem wills — to travel this week to Tirahowitz. May Hashem lead him in His righteousness.
And praised be G-d — he received his small note via Rabbi Naftali — may his light shine. And from yourself — my beloved son — you will understand how much and how much you gave his soul life with this small letter — in what you informed him there of their friend Rabbi Nachman — may he live — that he received the merchandise through great miracle — praised be the living G-d. Even if he had not been delayed here except for this — it would have been enough for him. For had he been on his road then — he would not have had this information until after several days. And in truth — he needs to know this beforehand — to gladden his soul with such good news. May Hashem Yisborach always cause him to hear good tidings — and in particular since it is essential for their work that he know this here before his departure. Good to give thanks to Hashem every single day on every single detail.
