By the Grace of G-d28th of Teves, 5727Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I duly received the request (Pidyon) in behalf of your father, which will be read at the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory at a propitious time.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask you about your impressions of the Encounter. I understand that your suggestion as to the visitors' limited participation in the Farbrengen was not accepted for some reason, and they stayed on for the duration of it. I am interested to know how they reacted to this experience.

I would also like to know if you had occasion to speak with your sister along the lines which we discussed.

May G-d grant that you should have good news to report in all the above.

As we are approaching the auspicious month of Shevat, I send you my prayerful wishes for an inspiring and fruitful month.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
