By the Grace of G‑d9th of Elul, 5718Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Zalmon Jaffe
105, Cavendish Road
Kersal
Salford 8, England
Greeting and Blessing:
I received your letter of August 14th, containing the good news that you are pleased with the outcome of the court case so far, and, what is even more important, with the progress that you and your wife have been making towards complete recovery.1
You do not mention anything about your business and your public work, which I take it as an indication that all is well in those departments.
Now that we have entered the month of Elul, when we say twice daily in our prayers Psalm 27, “G‑d is my light and my salvation,” etc., I trust that you will become increasingly aware that this is so in your case.
Wishing you and yours a Kesivo Vachasimo Toivo, with blessing,
M. Schneerson
