By the Grace of G-d 15th of Av, 5744 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 2nd and 10[th] of Av, with the enclosure, and other correspondence. As requested, I will again remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart's desires for good.

Inasmuch as this letter is being written on the auspicious day of the 15th of Av, which is historically associated with several happy events, and, moreover, having entered the Seven Weeks of Consolation leading up to Rosh Hashono, may HaShem grant that you should have good news to report, both in your personal affairs, as well as in your general endeavors for spreading and strengthening Yiddishkeit, which are particularly timely in these coming weeks, in order to hasten the true consolation of our people with the arrival of Moshiach Tzidkeinu and the complete and true Geulo, speedily in our days.

Receipt is enclosed for your Tzedoko, and may the Zechus of it bring you and yours additional Divine blessings.

With blessing,

M Schneerson
