Mrs. Yachet Reizel Jaffe
105 Cavendish Rd, Kersal
Salford, Lancs.
Blessing and Greeting:
I duly received the message about your birthday, and subsequently the corrected date.
I send you my prayerful wishes for Hatzlocho in the new year, and for good health and long life. And may you together with your husband, in affluence and contentment, continue your endeavors to spread Yiddishkeit in general, and particularly in the areas in which my father-in-law of saintly memory had dedicated himself with real Mesiras Nefesh. May you do so in joy and gladness of heart, with much true Yiddish-Chasidish Nachas from each and all of your children and grandchildren and from each other.
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
