And also on that very day I entered here in Breslov — in the evening — a certain man from far away (from the Russian province of Dvin) lodged in the house where I was then living. And this man was traveling with his wife to Eretz Yisroel. And he had some acquaintance with me. And this was later a great cause — that I should travel to Eretz Yisroel. And in Eretz Yisroel I was a guest at this man's house. And he received me with great honor. How great are the works of Hashem. And behold — afterward I was standing and waiting every day for news from Mohilov that paper had already been purchased there — in order to travel there to engage in the printing. For after the fire — the obstacles multiplied against us without limit. Until it seemed to Rabbi Naftali that it was impossible for me to engage in this now — after we had all been so scattered. And much of the printing money was sunk in the hands of others. And I too was then greatly wandering. But Hashem Blessed be He strengthened my mind to engage in this. And I was waiting for news from Mohilov as mentioned above. And the matter was delayed several weeks after the festival of Shavuos. And in the meantime we were in Uman on Erev Rosh Chodesh Tammuz.
