With God's help, Sunday evening before the second day of Selichot, 5590.

I received your letter, my beloved son, and I was all prepared to travel today, but the carriage driver fooled me. He hired his coach today for a short journey and said he would return any minute. I ended up stuck here the whole day. But all that God does, He does for the best, even if we do not understand how at first. I do not think I will travel now by way of Tulchin. I have trust in God's kindness and I am certain you will be there at Rosh HaShanah, with God's help. Do not forget to bring to Uman at least the money that Reb Shimshon promised. If you can, bring what Reb C.Sh. promised as well. If you can also get him to come to Uman himself, good for you and good for him! because God values our Rosh HaShanah very much. Nothing is more exalted. Beyond this, peace, life and may you be written and sealed for a good year.
