LETTER FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT
Blessed be Hashem  ·  Thursday, Rosh Chodesh ElulTshehrin  ·  Year 5604 (1844)
ToMay He Who gives a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters — guide us quickly — a way and a path to teshuvah — and may He make good our sealing and writing — to the honor of my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may he live — with all his descendants — may they live.

He received his letter yesterday — and just now there is nothing new — for he is very busy to travel for the coming holy Shabbas — coming upon them for good — to the congregation of Medvedivka. And from there to Uman. And his will is strong to come there — with Hashem's help — for the holy Shabbas of Parshas Ki Teitzei — the coming one upon them for good. May Hashem direct his steps for good. And may Hashem Yisborach have mercy upon you and upon all of us — and remove sorrow and sighing from us — and may we merit to rejoice always in His salvation and His great chesed — which He bestowed upon us — in His wondrous and very very awesome chasadimleit machashavah t'fisa tamman k'lal — in them we trust still to make our end good forever. Nagila v'nismecha bishu'aso.

And praised be G-d — they spoke words of Torah — words of truth — greatly — on the past holy Shabbases. And they rejoiced and danced in His salvation. Would that sadness be completely nullified from us — to overcome with all strength — and gladden our soul in all that is possible — to fulfil agila v'esmecha b'chasdecha — and so forth.

The words of your father — who awaits to see you with joy in the days of Rosh Hashana — coming upon them for good. And chedvas Hashem yehi ma'uzeinu l'netzach.

And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love — and in particular to his dear friend the veteran our Teacher the Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — the grandson of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — of blessed memory. Certainly he does not forget him — G-d forbid — and he is fixed in his heart and mind at every time. But we have no one to rely upon except our Father in Heaven. All that his hand finds to do for his benefit — he has done and will do — with Hashem's help. But the main of his hope is upon Him Yisborach alone — for He is mighty to save you and all of us. Only be strong and bold — very much — in Torah and prayer and conversation between yourself and your Creator — to come for Rosh Hashana without excuse — so that it go well with you forever.
