By the Grace of G-d 27th of Adar II, 5719 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I received your letter of the 18th of Adar I, and I am glad to read in it about your determination to learn well and to improve your conduct in every way. Since nothing stands in the way of will and determination, I am confident that you will succeed, with G-d's help.

With regard to the best way in which you could have a good influence on your friends, you should discuss this matter with Anash, who are familiar with local conditions, and who could guide you from time to time, so that you will be successful.

As for getting a pen-friend who could write to you in French, write to our office in Paris (Rabbi B. Gorodetzki, 80 rue St. Antoine, Paris iv^e). When you write to them, also ask them to send you our publications in French, which they publish there.

With blessing,

By Nissan Mindel
