By the Grace of G‑d13th of Shevat, 5722Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

After the considerable lapse of time, I was particularly pleased to receive your letter, written on the day of the Hilulo, Yud Shevat.

I will again remember you and yours in prayer, in accordance with the contents of your letter. And since your family has had the Zechus to receive the blessings of the Baal HaHilulo, you can be sure that you will continue to enjoy them, since the blessings of Tzaddikim are lastingly effective. Above all that you and your wife should have true Yiddish and Chassidish Nachas from all your children, in good health and ample sustenance. The Zechus of the Tzedoko, for which receipts are enclosed, will additionally stand you and yours in good stead.

I was gratified to read that the representatives from here who came to New Haven to participate in the Yud Shevat gathering have brought encouragement and inspiration, and may this last throughout the year to strengthen all matters of Torah and Yiddishkeit in your community at large, and to you and your family in particular, in good health and with gladness of heart.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
