How noble is this day — on which he received the good tidings — that praised be G-d — their work has already been completed. Mah ashiv laHashem — ilu finu malei shirah. And praised be G-d — the good tidings reached them in its time and season — in a time of joy and gladness and feasting and good day for the Jews. So may Hashem be with them — that they merit to rejoice in His salvation this Purim — and in all the festivals that come to greet them in peace. And may He pour upon them true knowledge — how to give thanks and bless Him always in joy — for all that He has bestowed upon them in His mercies and His abundant chasadim. "Yimalei fi t'hilaso."

And behold — from the above-mentioned letter — he settled that it is essential not to cause Rabbi Nachman such distress — who stands and awaits money every day — as he wrote in his letter — that on that day he expected money to arrive. Therefore — he is sending him — and so forth — and the remainder — up to the completion of ten half-Proiyellin — approximately fifteen new rubles — he should lend from his own — besides what he is owed from him for the merchandise. And see to send to him immediately tomorrow — at the time of the postal — the above sum — with these letters attached here — and add to the letter of Rabbi Nachman as you wish. And you will do thereby a great mitzvah. And the essence of why he urged himself in this — is for the sake of the work of the book Likutay Eitzos — which he wants him to begin immediately — for it is the merit of the many — and a mitzvah of many which is preferable — and it would be a desecration to be lazy about this — and whoever is quick is praiseworthy. And just now — because of the preoccupation of Purim — he does not want to trouble himself with this. But they are already prepared — as if in his hands — only they need to be sent after. And write him a reply immediately with all possible alacrity. And be confident that certainly what you lent will be repaid soon.

And now understand anew — that there is no despair in the world — and that also I and you and all of us must strengthen ourselves in great joy without measure every day — and in particular in days of joy — and in particular on Purim. Ashreinu ashreinu — that we merit to write such things — flowing from the hints that are in the sea of wisdom — through which one merits to the illumination of the will at the time of eating.

And this now — is for him the whole intent of Purim. For the essential subduing of Amalek — may his name be erased — was through "v'hayah ka'asher yarim Moshe yado" — and Israel prevailed — in the time when Israel gazes upward. That is — Moshe Rabbeinu raised his hands — and hinted to them to gaze upward. For Amalek is such a hard k'lipa — composed of all the k'lipos and the sitra achra — that when it spreads and provokes Israel — it is impossible for the tzaddik to speak and rebuke Israel. Only what he can do — is raise his hands and hint to them: gaze upward — for Hashem is still with you — for "m'lo kol ha'aretz k'vodo."

And the sheet is too short and the time is urgent — it is impossible to extend — sufficient for now. And also — this letter — he gained through the fact that he is urging him to send money to Rabbi Nachman — for without this it would not have occurred to him to write a letter today. Therefore — let not the joy of Purim prevent you from fulfilling the mitzvah of sending the money and the above letter. On the contrary — rejoice and exult in this — with the melody that Rabbi Nachman — may he live — sings there: "Shoshanat Ya'akov tzahala v'same'cha" — for you merit on Purim to this mitzvah. U'take fort hop — and truly in all of this — only joy.
