Greeting and Blessing:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence, as well as the material in connection with the Convention. It gives me an opportunity to reiterate again my gratification with the success of the Convention, as it has already been conveyed over the telephone. It is indeed a great Zechus for all who participated in it, particularly those who took a leading part in its organization and saw to its Hatzlocho from the beginning to the end. Although I mention "to the end," this is not to be taken literally, for I am confident the Convention has not really ended, for it will continue to produce good fruits both in England and in the other countries. To use the well known modern expression, I am confident it has set in motion a chain reaction, and, of course, those who have initiated it with so much devotion and dedication, have a full share in all the reactions and results that will follow.
Having received this correspondence and material in this month when joy is on the increase (Marbin b’Simcha), may there indeed be a growing measure of joy in all your affairs, including also Parnosso in the plain sense, and certainly in the area of true Yiddish Nachas from each and all your children. Included, of course, is the matter of Shidduchim, which is one of the most essential things in Jewish life, since a Shidduch is a Binyan Adei Ad.
I will look forward to hearing good news from you in all above.
Wishing you and all yours a happy and inspiring Purim,
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
P.S. Judging by your correspondence and activities regarding the Convention, I am even further strengthened in my confidence that you could even in the natural order of things have Hatzlocho in your private bureau which you have conducted for some time.
