And Rabbi Naftali traveled then from Uman to the vicinity of our anshei sh'lomaynu in Medzibuizh, Tcheirin, Kremintchoug and so on. And I returned with his wagon to here in Breslov. From here I traveled home to Nemirov. And in every moment I was thinking many thoughts: how was it possible to complete the printing? Afterward, shortly after, I was compelled to travel to Medzibuizh for his estate matter. And I traveled with his son-in-law Rabbi Yoske zichrono livracha. And we spent Shabbas Kodesh there at the house of his father — the rav and Gaon of Khmilnyk. And from there we traveled to Medzibuizh. And we accomplished nothing in our matter — regarding his shops. And we returned in deflated spirit. And I came to Nemirov close to Purim. And Rabbi Naftali had still not returned home from the journey mentioned above. And while my thoughts were wandering and very very astonished — and I did not know how to advise myself regarding the printing matter — for it had occurred to me to travel to Mohilov where there was a printing press at the house of my brother-in-law Rabbi Tzvi and his partner Rabbi Leib. And I wished for now to travel there to strike a deal with the printer there — that when Rabbi Naftali arrived we would print there immediately. But I saw that I still had nothing even for the travel expenses to Mohilov — nor to give him a little money as a down-payment called an advance. And my mind was very divided. In the meantime — Hashem Blessed be He arranged things in His awesome wonders. And as I was passing through the holy community of Nemirov in the street — I suddenly raised my eyes and saw Rabbi Leib from the holy community of Mohilov — who had a share in the press there. And I was greatly startled. And I understood that it was from Hashem — that He had arranged that he came here today. And that the matter would roll in such a way that I would see him — which was not in the natural order of things — for he had no business and it had not occurred to him to come show himself to me — had not the mercy of Hashem done this through His wondrous Providence. And immediately I strengthened myself. And I went to him. And made a deal with him for the printing. And afterward there were still several more events in this.
