Salutations to your honor — that you exerted yourself and labored on my behalf — and it is reckoned by me also as a good sending of portions. May Hashem Yisbarach help you to receive the Passover festival in propriety — and may Hashem Yisbarach pour down upon you abundant blessing — from the spoils of the sea — in the strength and merit of Rabbainu ז"ל and his holy disciple. And know that the non-Jewish donkey-driver received from me one groshen — his fee for the trouble. And enclosed here is a letter to the woman Dabris — the wife of Reb Tevil, may his candle shine — from Keisar Kasdan — and the woman Leah — the wife of Reb Nussun — knows her. And greetings of peace to all the Anash — with strong love. And because I do not have any paper in my house now — and I am also urgently needed to go to the resting place of the Rambam ז"ל to pray for you as well — I was brief — and with this I say shalom. [ואמר שלום — "and I say shalom" — the formal closing farewell formula: with this I take my leave — shalom; a specific traditional sign-off indicating the letter has come to its conclusion] One who loves you and loves all the Anash — who desires your success in this world and the next, Nussun from Breslov Encamped here in Teverya, may it be established and built for good. Undated — Purim-Adar period, 5641. A brief thank-you. Your trouble-taking is mishloach manos. Hurrying to the grave of the Rambam ז"ל. נ נח נחמ נחמן מאומן
