By the Graceof G-d 26th of Tammuz, 5738 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

After not hearing from your for quite some time, I was pleased to receive your letter of July 20th. I will remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart's desires for good in all the matters about which you wrote.

May G-d grant that your past achievements in all matters of Yiddishkeit should stimulate you to even greater achievements in the future, in accordance with the saying of our Sages, "He who has 100, desires 200," etc., meaning that ambition grows with achievement and even outpaces it. And if this is so in material things, how much more so in real and eternal values.

It is significant that your letter was written close to the anniversary of the Geulo of my father-in-law of saintly memory, on the 12-13th of Tammuz, the history and significance of which you surely know.

Wishing you much Hatzlocho and hoping to hear good news from you always,

With blessing

M. Schneerson
