Letter 58 נ"ח

Peace and blessing and all good — to my beloved dear friend, the delight of my heart — our Master R' Yaakov Zev, may he live — and my dear friend — our Master R' Yechiel, may he live.

Please inform me whether you are of complete accord in the matter of the yeshivah — as R' Leibel, may he live, wrote — or whether it did not occur to you as mentioned above — and whether you are in agreement with him. Please, dear beloved brothers — if you want to establish Rabbainu's matters in Eretz Yisrael — first: see to send a formal request to R' Tzvi Yehudah Lipel, may he live [a new name — apparently another Breslov companion in Uman who needs the Soviet invitation document to be able to return to Eretz Yisrael; R' Shmuel is now helping others as well]. For he is occupied and will be occupied in this matter more than anyone. And in my opinion — he is the first of the first. Please exert yourselves for him with everything possible — and reply to him with an appropriate answer — whether you are working for him. From me — your friend who awaits the salvation of Hashem: Shmuel Horowitz. I wish you a kosher and joyful Pesach — and I ask you to pray for me — and to exert yourself for me in everything possible. For I received the letter to the consulate — and still do not know what will be — and how the matter will go. I ask you to give to R' Leibel Rozenfeld [a returning Breslov companion] — and your honors yourselves should also read — my letter to Tzvi Yehudah son of Chaya Hendel Lipel. My name was written on the permit [רישיון] many times — and it is also with R' Yaakov Zev the Cohen — my name explicitly. I ask you to write to me a reply — at my address only — and you can reach the young man R' Yaakov Zev Brzhesky.
