Write a Letter to Place at Rabbainu's Grave — Pour Out Your Heart

Now, my dear righteous faithful brother — do this: write a letter — and write out there, in writing, all the afflictions of your heart. And pour out your entire heart in this letter — to the fellowship who are at the Tzion of Rabbainu the Holy one — to Rabbainu's grandson, R' Shimshon [נכד רבינו ר' שמשון — the grandson of Rabbainu who served as the caretaker of the grave in Uman at this time]. And send me the letter — and I too will write about you and send it there. And they will mention you at Rabbainu's — at the holy Tzion. And they will place the letter upon the Tzion of Rabbainu the Holy one. Therefore — pour out your entire heart. And: how you were drawn close through R' Yisrael [R' Yisrael of Kardin — the Tzadik who drew him to Breslov], of blessed memory. And what has happened to you. And it has already been so many years — and you have not yet merited to be, etc. And what will be the ultimate purpose. And how you are, to your sorrow, not well, etc. Write everything out in this letter — and also write about me: how I am struggling, etc. — and I know no counsel — in material and in spiritual matters. Write everything explicitly in this letter — and send it to me. And I, G‑d willing, will send it, etc. Only — do not strain yourself, G‑d forbid, in any way. And guard your health well.
