By the Grace of G-d 15th of Menachem Av, 5717 Brooklyn, N. Y

Greeting and Blessing:

I received your letter of August 10th, with enclosures. Your donation was turned over to our Special Discretionary Fund, which is, as you know, one of the highest forms of Tzedoko.

I was gratified to read that you had occasion to see G-d’s grace and kindness in an improvement in business. I trust that you will proportionately increase your Tzedoko, for, as you know, it is good to have G-d’s partnership in the business.

Of this important day, the 15th of Menachem Av, our Sages say that whoever increases in the study of the Torah and the observance of its Mitzvoth, receives increased blessings.¹ I trust that this will be so in your case, and that you will have good news to report, particularly with regard to the good health of the members of your family.

I trust you will find the enclosed message of interest, and useful, and will bring it to the attention of your friends.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
