By the Grace of G-d 18th of Teves, 5726 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am in receipt of your letters of the 10th of Teves (and the previous), may it soon be turned into a day of gladness and joy.

I was pleased to note that all is well with you and the members of your family. I will again remember you all in prayer, when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory, for the fulfillment of your heart’s desires for good in all the matters about which you write.

May G-d grant that through the concerted efforts of you and your friends and through steadily growing efforts, you will enjoy an ever growing measure of success in the spreading of the Torah and Mitzvoth, as illuminated by the light of Chassidus, in accordance also with the teaching of Chanukah, which we have just celebrated by kindling the lights in steadily growing numbers.

Hoping to hear further good news from you.

With blessing,
