Shalom u'Vrachah! Haraha"ch vavaha"ch iy"a nu"m etc. Mehora"z shiy'.

The reason for the change in the yud in chati"k—as referenced in the two letters included in the booklet—I have not heard. Regarding what you write in your letter, that when I have time I will review—whatever comes to a Jew in general, and especially to a chassid who follows the Baal Shem Tov's approach regarding hashgachah pratis (Divine Providence), and particularly when it comes from his Rebbe with specific details—it is certainly intended exactly for the time when the suggestion arrives and for all the events of that period. This is like the well-known story of Reb Yitzchak Horowitz (Reb Itche Der Masmid) on Erev Pesach morning before prayer.

Written in the margins of the previous letter. Part of it was printed in Likkutei Sichos vol. 24 p. 418, and completed based on a photograph of the letter.

Regarding the change of yud in chati " k: It began from Shevat 5709—see introduction to Igros Kodesh Admor Mohariyatz vol. 10 p. 6–11. See below letter 577.

And as with the well-known story: He received from Admor tzt"z matzah and wine for Seder on Erev Pesach and hurried to eat everything his Rebbe sent him immediately.

About Reb Yitzchak Horowitz: This refers to Reb Yekutiel. See "Kerem Chabad," issue 2 p. 20 and its note there; "Hisvaaduyos" 5744 vol. 3 p. 1472 and elsewhere.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that directives from one's Rebbe are divinely timed and should be acted upon promptly, as illustrated by stories of chassidim who fulfilled their Rebbe's instructions without delay, recognizing their unique significance for that moment.
