By the Grace of G-d25 Adar II, 5717Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mrs.
Montreal
Blessing and Greeting,
I received your letter of the 7th of Adar II with enclosure.
As requested, I will remember you and your son in prayer when visiting the Holy resting place of my Father-In-Law of Saintly memory, and the merit of the Tzedoko which you sent will surely stand you both in good stead.
With regard to Dr. ..., about whom you write that you had expected that he would take a greater part in the treatment of your son,1 perhaps he is participating fully in consultations with the Doctor treating him and giving instructions, etc., which is the important thing. At any rate, it may be advisable for a member of your family to have a talk with Dr. ...and find out more particulars.
With the blessing for the improvement of health and for good news,
By Nissan Mindel
