He received his letter yesterday — on Rosh Chodesh Elul — before the prayer — and it was for him sorrow and comfort. Just now he does not know what to write to him — for he has already written to him greatly. And the days of Rosh Hashana are approaching and they will speak face to face — with Hashem's help. And for now my son — be strong and bold — and begin to bless in your thought: "shehecheyanu v'kiy'manu v'higi'anu la'zman ha'zeh" — which is the holy Rosh Hashana — that they merit to gather together — with Hashem's help. And only in this he gives himself life. And also you — it is fitting that you give yourself life from this — that the year has already passed — and the days of Rosh Hashana have arrived — in which they gather together at the holy tziyun.
And the postal is urgent today — and it is impossible to extend at all. And let him receive the sum of thirty new rubles — from this he should send to the hand of Rabbi Shimshon and Rabbi Shmelka — the sum of six new rubles — for the livelihood of his household. And four new rubles to the hand of his wife — may she live — as he wrote in his letter to there — attached here. And five new rubles to the hand of his daughter Chana Tzirel — may she live — which is for the Torah scroll of Rabbi Tzvi from here. Total — fifteen new rubles. And fifteen new rubles — let him receive for himself — and note five new rubles — that they are money of the work. And ten are his. And note that he received them from here — Tshehrin. And also note today and the time — so that the account be clear. And bring him the clear account on Rosh Hashana coming upon them for good — that is — what is registered after the account — that he already received from him recently. And also note briefly the general account — that was until that day — from the receipts and the disbursements — both his and the work's. And afterwards note in detail the receipts and disbursements — his and the work's — that were after the above-mentioned account. And presumably he will do everything to the greatest good — and bring him to Uman — with Hashem's help. His letter to Krumintchag has still not been sent there — but he does not need to wait any more for his letter — for on the past Shabbas he came from Krumintchag — and Rabbi Ephraim said to him explicitly several times — that he wishes to write to him — that he should bring him *lulavim.
And regarding their work — he has great comfort — that you are engaging in this. May Hashem Yisborach grant them that it come in peace quickly in good condition. And all our anshei sh'lomaynu await this greatly. And presumably he will write to him quickly to Uman — the salvation of Hashem — that He will do in this matter — in His chesed. And to here he should not write anymore. And he intends to travel for the coming *Shabbas to the congregation of Medvedivka — and after the holy *Shabbas — to travel toward Uman. And his will is very strong to arrive there for the holy *Shabbas of Parshas Ki Teitzei. And may Hashem save him.
And now my son — be strong and bold in all the things you have already heard. And remember at every time — the immensity of the greatness and the awesomeness of the power of the most elder of elders of holiness — in Whose shadow we shelter — that through the immensity of his power — all will be rectified — with Hashem's help. And upon us to praise at every time — that He set us apart from those who err — who oppose him. And to rejoice greatly — that we merited to be called by his holy name. And the joy of Hashem in this is our strength — against all that passes over us at every time. For His chesed greatly surpasses upon us — and the truth of Hashem is forever.
The words of your father — who awaits to see him in life and peace and joy quickly — nagila v'nismecha bishu'aso. And may Hashem Yisborach in His mercies give in your heart and in the heart of all of us — to strengthen ourselves from now — to prepare ourselves for the holy Rosh Hashana — and may we merit to be written and sealed well — for good long life — and for peace.

And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love — and to his dear friend the rabbinical scholar — the nagid — our Teacher the Rabbi Yaakov — may his light shine. The end of the matter — all heard — know that he urges him for his eternal benefit — that he come with joy on Rosh Hashana coming upon them for good. And do not look at the concern about the delay of your merchandise with honey — which is in these days. For there is much benefit and salvation before Him Yisborach — to pour out upon him benefit in many fold from another place. In particular on Rosh Hashana — when they engage in the sweetening of the aspect of honey — which is the secret of the intentions of the shofar — and one also eats honey then. And certainly much and much more will be sweetened for you — in this world and in the World to Come — when you will be counted with us on Rosh Hashana coming upon them for good. And because of the urgency of the postal — it is impossible to extend. And for the wise one — these few words will suffice — and for the listener — it will be sweeter and more pleasant than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
And peace to his dear friend and beloved as his own soul — the veteran rabbinical scholar — the holy fruit — our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine. He received his letter and read it carefully — and also gave it to Rabbi Avraham Dov — may he live. And just now he needs to receive it from him — to give it to his uncle and brother-in-law — may he live — to read. But just now they are excusing themselves greatly — because much was taken from them and they have no livelihood standing at all. Even so — he will see to speak with them more — and to Hashem the salvation. And you my beloved — cast your burden upon Hashem and He will sustain you — and certainly He will not abandon you. And if Hashem wills — in the days of Rosh Hashana — they will speak face to face — all that is in his heart. And also in Krumintchag — he spoke with his father-in-law Rabbi Leibel — and he said — that already prepared in his hand is a gift for his daughter — may she live — and he will send it via Rabbi Ephraim — may his light shine — on Rosh Hashana — coming upon them for good.
