By the Grace of G‑d10th of Adar, 5720Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Zalman Jaffe
105, Cavendish Road
Kersal
Salford, 7, Lancs.
Greeting and Blessing:
I received your letter of February 26th, and the previous one.
I was gratified to note that once again you have seen how your faith has been justified in the development of the import duty matter.1 I trust that this will stimulate you to even a greater measure of faith and a corresponding tranquilizing effect, all the more so as the prospects seem promising.
On the occasion of your birthday, a day when one's good fortune takes the upper hand, may G‑d grant that this be so throughout the year, both materially and spiritually.
As we are now in the auspicious month of Adar, which has been historically a fortunate one for the Jewish people as a whole, and for Jews individually, I hope and pray that it bring you and yours an additional measure of success.
With prayerful wishes for the fulfillment of your heart's desire for good, and wishing you an inspiring and happy Purim.
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
