בְּעֶזְרַת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, יוֹם ג' עֲשָׂרָה בְּטֵבֵת תר"ג.
Know that he is preparing himself to travel tomorrow — if Hashem wills — to Krumintchag. Just now he does not know what to write to him until he receives his letter. And Hashem Yisborach will gladden his soul and the soul of all of them — and they will merit to return to Him in truth — and to purify their hearts to serve Him in truth — in His mercies and salvation which are never exhausted.
שָׁלוֹם לַאֲהוּבִי בְּנִי שֶׁיִּחְיֶה.
And behold — now immediately after prayer today — Wednesday Parshas Vayechi — the postal arrived. And praised be G-d — he received his letter — and it was a great comfort to him. And he is just now urgently needed to get on the wagon to travel to Krumintchag — and also the postal is urgent — therefore it is impossible to extend at all. And see to write to him every time — and all his letters send only here to Tshehrin. For before a reply to this letter arrives from him — he will return here with Hashem's help — and then he will write to him properly. And also if Hashem wills — upon his return from Krumintchag — he will send him more money — for the holy work — and for the livelihood of his household. And be confident in Hashem that he will not need to borrow for the work — only perhaps for a short moment. And regarding his delay on the road — he also does not know until he returns here. And the counsel of Hashem — it will stand.
דַּע כִּי אֲנִי מֵכִין עַצְמִי לִנְסֹעַ בְּיוֹם מָחָר אִם יִרְצֶה הַשֵּׁם לִקְרֶעמִינְטְשַׁאג, כָּעֵת אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ מַה לִּכְתֹּב לְךָ עַד שֶׁאֲקַבֵּל מִכְתָּבְךָ. וְהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ יְשַׂמַּח נַפְשֶׁךָ וָנֶפֶשׁ כֻּלָּנוּ וְנִזְכֶּה לָשׁוּב אֵלָיו יִתְבָּרַךְ בֶּאֱמֶת, וּלְטַהֵר לְבָבֵנוּ לְעָבְדוֹ בֶּאֱמֶת בְּרַחֲמָיו וִישׁוּעָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם כָּלִים לְעוֹלָם.
And for now — be strong and bold — and give yourself life from his previous letters — and from what you find to slake your thirst in the books of our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — and in what they merited to explain and to make new in them. Hafoch bahem v'hafoch bahem — well — every day — a little or a lot — certainly it will greatly give your soul life. For it is not an empty thing — the deed that is done under the sun — with each person in his childhood and in his youth and in his young adulthood and in the middle of his days and in his old age — with him and with his wife and children and those who go forth from his loins. And regarding all of them — there is no one to lean upon — in this generation — in these latter days — except on the power of the most elder of elders of holiness — as he very very deeply thought about our end. Blessed are we that we were saved from being opponents against him — G-d forbid — and we merited and merit every day to draw and to suckle from his well and from his springs of salvation — which are our life. Were it not for his Torah — our delight — almost and so forth. Blessed be the Merciful One Who helped them until here — and to Hashem the hope and the salvation — that He begin from now to save them — a complete salvation — in this world and in the World to Come forever.
