Greeting and Blessing:
I was pleased to receive word from Rabbi V. Schildkraut1 that there has been an improvement in the matter of health, and I trust that the improvement will be steady and lead to complete recovery. I am looking forward to receiving good news from you in all matters, physical as well as spiritual, inasmuch as the two go hand in hand together, especially in the case of a Jew. And, inasmuch as the Torah and Mitzvoth are the channels through which to receive G-d's blessings, any increased efforts in this direction will bring increased Divine blessings.
Your donation was turned over to our Special Discretionary Fund, from which assistance is given, in confidence, to deserving cases which is one of the highest forms of Tzedoko. May it stand you in good stead.
With blessing,
By (Secretary)
