By the Grace of G-d17th of Shevat, 5722Brooklyn, N.Y.

Sholom uBrocho:

After the considerable lapse of time, your letter of Yud Shevat was particularly welcome. I was, of course, pleased to read that you had a Farbreng in your home on the occasion of Yud Shevat, and that it was in Chassidic tradition and with joy. May it be a true Chanukas haBayis, that your home should always be full of joy and of the Chassidic spirit, with true happiness materially and spiritually.

The Pidyon will be remembered at the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory.

I was especially gratified to read that you have renewed your activities and good influence to strengthen and spread the Torah and Mitzvoth, and may you continue to do so in a growing measure and with gladness of heart.

With blessing,

By Nissan Mindel
