By the Grace of G-d25th of Nissan, 573713th of April, 1977Brooklyn, N. Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your message of greetings and felicitations on the occasion of my recent birthday. Please be assured of my sincere appreciation.

Your warm sentiments are particularly welcome and meaningful in view of the fact that the United Kingdom hosts renowned educational and religious institutions sponsored by our Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which are so vital in the present day and age.

In behalf of our movement, therefore, no less than in my own behalf, I prayerfully reciprocate your good wishes by reiterating the Divine Promise given to our Patriarch Abraham, "I will bless them that bless thee." Accordingly, may you and all the good citizens of Great Britain enjoy G-d’s blessings in a generous measure, materially and spiritually.

With blessing,

Cordially yours

M. Schneerson
