By the Grace of G-d25th of Tammuz, 5734Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I duly received your letter of June 12th with the enclosure.

I will remember you in prayer in the matters about which you write, and may G-d grant that just as you wrote about the problems, so you should have good news to report about their satisfactory resolution.

The Zechus of the Tzedoko, for which receipt is enclosed, will surely stand you and yours in good stead.

It is surely unnecessary to emphasize to a person of your background about the need of learning Torah every day, with additional time on the holy Shabbos. I mention it only in accordance with the advice of our Sages to "encourage the energetic." May G-d grant that you should go from strength to strength in all matters of Torah and Mitzvoth, in accordance with the saying of our Sages, "He who has 100 desires 200, and having achieved 200, desires 400." If ambition grows with achievement even in materiel things, how much more should this be the case in matters of the spirit, which are the essential aspects of Jewish life.

With blessing,
