B.H. 6th of Tishrei, 5723 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

I was pleased to receive your letter of 28th of Elul, in which you report on your activities to strengthen Yiddishkeit among the younger generation of Manchester, about your teaching, etc. As every Jew is assured Divine help in such work, every effort is bound to be fruitful, and may it be G-d’s will that you continue your good work with growing success, in gladness of heart. This in turn will increase G-d’s blessings to you and those who are near and dear to you.

Please convey my good wishes also to the other leaders who are working with you. I trust you have all taken advantage of the present auspicious period of the year to intensify your good work and influence.

I appreciate your letting me know about the success of the camp. I trust this has further convinced you and your co-workers that where there is a firm resolution to accomplish things, they are indeed accomplished.

Wishing you a chasimo ugmar chasimo toivo for the fulfillment of your heart’s desires for good,

With blessing,

M. Schneerson

P.S. Regarding your desired visit to New York, as I indicated to your חתן¹ it is suggested that the time of the wedding should at least tentatively be considered, and then it will be more practical and easier to consider a visit, etc.

Enclosed is a copy of my Rosh Hashanah message, which I trust you will put to good advantage.²
