By the Grace of G-d 21st of Shevat, 5718 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

I received your letter of February 6th, in which you write about your need for improved health, as well as spiritually, which generally among Jews go hand-in-hand together, and inasmuch, as with regard to spiritual health man has the fullest freedom of action also within man’s power, since an improvement in the health of a soul brings an improvement in the health of the body.

I trust that you follow the instructions of the expert doctor who is treating you, and I hope that you will soon have good news to report of considerable progress in both your spiritual as well as physical health.

No doubt you realize your great Zechus of being a student of the Yeshivah which was founded and conducted by my father- in-law of saintly memory, and if you will learn with great devotion and diligence, observing the instructions and discipline of the Yeshivah, you will surely succeed and the success itself, will in turn, increase your desire to do even better.

I hope you are observing the thrice daily Shiurim of Chumash, Tehillim and Tanya.

With blessing,
