By the Grace of G-d1st day of Elul, 5739Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

This is in reply to your Mailgram about the doctor’s opinion regarding your state of health.

I am pleased to note that the doctor advised you to avoid aggravation - which he surely had in mind the kind of aggravation, G-d forbid, that is normally reasonable, not to mention aggravation that has no basis in fact.

I trust you will follow this and the other instructions of your doctor, as is required also by the Torah. For although G-d is the true Healer Who works wondrously, He requires a person to take care of his health and do what is necessary in the natural order.

With regard to losing weight, no doubt you have been told not to attempt to do it drastically, but gradually. You should also be active in your business affairs as much as possible.

May G-d grant you many long and good years to continue your good work with joy and gladness of heart, especially in connection with the B . . Youth Center, that it justify its name as a “center” of Torah and mitzvos, with a wide periphery permeated with its influence and inspiration.

Significantly, your communication came in proximity to, and the answer is written on, the first day of Elul, the month of special Divine grace and benevolence, as explained by the Alter Rebbe with the parable of “the king in the field,” which you surely know.

With blessing for good tidings in all above and for a Kesivo vachasimo tovo for a good and sweet year to you and all yours, materially and spiritually,
