By the Grace of G‑d26th of Nissan, 5732Brooklyn, N.Y.
Greeting and Blessings
I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your greetings and felicitations on the occasion of my birthday, which I heartily appreciate.
Your warm sentiments and good wishes are all the more meaningful In view of your association with those who direct the activities of our movement in Manchester, particularly our distinguished mutual friend, Mr. Shneur Zalman Jaffe.
I can best reciprocate your good wishes by reiterating the Divine blessings given to our Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless them that bless thee.” Accordingly, may you and all the members of your congregation enjoy G‑d’s blessings “from His full, open, holy and generous Hand.”
Cordially,
