By the Grace of G-d15th of Menachem-Av, 5743Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

Thank you very much for your note in connection with the forthcoming Banquet.

Enclosed please find copy of my message to the Banquet in response to your suggestion and request. May G-d grant that the event should be an enormous success in every respect.

I will again remember you and your family in prayer at the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory, in whose spirit the work of Merkos-Lubavitch in Minn. is conducted. Your constant very efficient support and now your prominent role as Chairman of the Banquet will certainly stand you and yours in good stead for additional Divine blessings.

With cordial personal regards, and

With esteem and blessing,

M. Schneerson
