"You can imagine how excited my father became. Forgetting where he was, he rushed back to his quarters, and there, on his desk, was a letter for him from his wife. He opened it and read it over again and again. It was exactly what he had seen in the mirror in the Baal Shem Tov's house!
"I am that baby about whom my mother wrote to my father in that letter! You can see the whole story recorded by my father in his diary."
Concluding his amazing story, the general asked the saintly Rebbe to bless him.
"Be good to the Jews, and the Almighty will bless you," the Rebbe replied, "for so it is written in the Torah: 'They that bless you [Abraham] shall be blessed.'"
