He received his letter — with the sum of twenty-five rubles of that type — during Chol HaMoed Pesach past. May Hashem repay the work of those who do and make for such a great mitzvah — the merit of the many — and may their reward be complete from Hashem — to make them successful in all they turn to — materially and spiritually. May they spend their days in the true good — and their years in pleasantness — until they merit to behold the pleasantness of Hashem forever — Amen so may it be His will.

And behold — the days of Pesach have already passed in peace and in some joy — and they crossed the sea in peace. And already eleven days of the counting of the Omer of the year 5603 of the sixth millennium of the creation of the world have passed. And the holy days of Shavuos are approaching. Would that they merit from now to count the Omer with proper intention — in a way that they merit to purify themselves — each and every one — from their impurity and contamination — until they merit to the great fear and awe and trepidation of the giving of the Torah — and it will be fulfilled: "in order that His fear be upon your faces — so you not sin ever again at all."

And just now there is nothing new to report in particular — for they await that he come here — if Hashem wills — for the coming Shavuos — without excuse. And he already wrote to him that their work is already completed — but he is a great debtor. And he hopes every day that Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — will come home in peace. And he will not withhold from them the good — to send them half a sample page — though it is somewhat blurred from the great use of hands that handle it. But even so — the craftsmanship is beautiful and mehudar with Hashem's help. And he hopes to Hashem that soon they will receive the bound volumes completely. But all of them will still need to give more money for them. For he must give more than thirty silver rubles — to bring them here — and he has no one more from whom to borrow — beyond what he still owes more than a hundred and twenty silver rubles. But to Hashem the salvation. And he trusts in him — that certainly he will do all he can to support him in this work — so that he not be a debtor. And also to support him in his livelihood — for his expenses are very great. And in particular now that he made a match for his son — praised be G-d. Therefore see to bring him money — a little or a lot — both for the work and for his livelihood. And may Hashem complete for him.
