He arrived here at the beginning of the night belonging to the past Tuesday — and he found his letters and the greetings from Rabbi Sh. — may his light shine. And also from Rabbi Nachman he received his letter in Tirahowitz. And yesterday he received his letter with the letter from Lemberg. He heard his cry greatly — and he had it in mind to reply to him. But just now it is impossible. Perhaps Hashem Yisborach will yet arrange — before Rosh Hashana — that he can write to him at length a little. And already you know greatly about this — that no day is like its fellow — and every day a person's evil inclination renews itself against him — and so forth. For this flows from the judgments that awaken every day. But the measure of goodness is greater — for "chasdei Hashem ki lo samu" — and they are "chadashim la'b'karim" — renewed each morning. And through this Hashem Yisborach will not abandon us to its hand. Therefore one must every day anew — strengthen oneself and hope and wait for Hashem Yisborach Who will help and save — anew — literally.

For every day is narrow at its beginning and expands at its end — as is explained in the Torah "Pasach Rabbi Shimon" — and in another place — that this is the secret of the shofar — in the aspect of: "min ha'meitzar karasi Yah — anani va'merchav Yah" — "from the narrow place I called to G-d — He answered me in the expanse of G-d." And this is the whole matter of the tribulations and the distresses and the confusions and the obstacles and so forth — that pass over every person. And it seems to him every day and at every time that no such time has ever passed over him. And sometimes it is partly true — but he has no mind to understand that the chasadim renewed just now are greater. For "lulei Hashem ezrasah li" — were it not for Hashem's help for me — "im amarti matah rageli chasd'cha Hashem yis'adeini" — "if I said my foot has slipped — Your chesed Hashem will support me."
