By the Grace of G-d6th of Nissan, 5734Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I just received your letter of March 25, with enclosure.

No doubt my telegram message,¹ as per enclosed, was received in good time. I hope and pray that the event will justify all expectations and more, and will serve as further inducement for even greater achievements, true to the oft quoted saying of our Sages, “He who has one hundred, desires two hundred; and having achieved two hundred (is not satisfied with the same increment, but) desires four hundred.”

I must apologize for not following up my reply to your previous letter to completion, which is due to pressure of duties, and, regretfully, duties connected with painful problems. However, I am glad to note from your letter that you have been proceeding along lines consonant with my suggestions, which are yet to come.

May G-d grant that the Season of Our Liberation which we are soon to celebrate will bring each and everyone of us, in the midst of our people, a greater measure of liberation for even greater dedication to the tasks ahead, and to carry them out in circumstances of liberation from distractions, in a happy frame of mind and with gladness of heart.

With warm personal regards, and with prayerful wishes to you and yours for a

Kosher and happy Pesach,

M. Schneerson
