By the Grace of G-d 10th of Menachem Av, 5743 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

I received your letter of July 13th. If you will let me know both your full Hebrew name and mother's Hebrew name, as is customary, I will remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart's desires for good.

I trust you know that one of the basic tenets of our religion and way of life is to have complete Bitochon in HaShem, whose benevolent Providence extends to each and everyone individually. In addition to this being a must for its own sake, it will go a long way to reduce anxiety and strengthen your peace of mind. At the same time, it is, of course, necessary to follow the instruction of one's doctor, which is also one of the teachings of our Torah.

May G-d grant that you should have good news to report in all above.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
