Here is a letter from the Rebbe to Professor Velvel Greene dated Erev Lag B'Omer 5729 (1969). In a few places the words are unclear. Since most of his letters have been publicised I assume this has been printed somewhere but I haven't seen it anywhere.

I have just seen this letter printed in שלום וברכה that seems to include all of Professor Greene's letters.

Yechidus

Sorry for the absence over recent months. It has taken 3 Tamuz to wake me from my inaction. I won't make any promises but I will try to start posting again as regularly as possible. Please be forgiving, I do have a Chabad House to run as well.

 

Here is an excerpt from a letter (to my knowledge not printed) from the Rebbe dated 11 Adar Sheni 5708 that discusses the concept of yechidus.

מש"כ זהו הענין ההכנות ליחידות הראשונות הנה לאו בפירש איתמר אבל לפענ"ד ברור שמובן אחרי ביאור ענין היחידות. וביאר כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר שליט"א (הועתק בהיום יום ע' פ"ו) שכולל ג' סעיפים: בירור מצבו של הנכנס, קביעות אופן עבודתו, התקשרות במסירה ונתינה יעיי"ש. והנה כ"ז לא מן השפה ולחוץ כ"א באמת לאמתו צריך שיהי' כלי מוכשר לקבל כהנ"ל וכלי ראוי (פארדינט) לקבל כהנ"ל, כל מה שתגדל המדריגה שאלי' הגיע בכחות יגדל ג"כ מה שמקבל ליחידות (ואפשר מה שנותנים לו ביחידות כי נראה אשר מלבד מקרים בודדים שנתנו ביחידות שלא בערך לכלי הנכנס לגמרי ולדוגמא אפ"ל ריק"ז ליפלער הנה ע"ד הרגיל ניתן שלא בערך של מקבל זה. וע"ד חילוק מקיף דלבוש ובית). וכמה מן הקושי דבעל שכל לפעול בעצמו שהוא מוסר ונותן א"ע שלא ע"פ שכל (כי אין טעם למסיר"נ בשכל) להוראות פלוני, או לבעל רצון תקיף לבא למדריגת בטל רצונך ולא עשה רצונך כו', וכל הגדול בזה קשה עליו ההכנה
