By the Grace of G-d 13th of Nissan, 5738 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

This is to acknowledge with sincere appreciation your thoughtfulness and good wishes in connection with my birthday.

I prayerfully reciprocate your good wishes by reiterating the Divine promise to our Father Abraham, “I (G-d, the Source of all blessings) will bless them that bless you.”

Accordingly, may G-d bestow His generous blessings on you and yours in all needs, materially and spiritually.

Wishing you and yours a kosher and joyous Pesach,

With blessing, M.Schneerson

P.S. For some reason the mailing of this letter has been delayed. In the meantime your letter dated Iyar 11 has been received. I will remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart’s desires for good. Your advancement in Yiddishkeit will stand you in good stead.
