By the Grace of G-d In the Days of Selichoth, 5737. Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

With the approach of the new year, may it bring only good and blessing to all of us in the midst of all our people Israel, I send you prayerful wishes for a Kesivo vaChasimo Tovo, for a good and sweet year, materially and spiritually.

I take this opportunity of acknowledging receipt of your letter and enclosure. I note that your birthday falls on the 15th day of Av which, as you surely know, is an auspicious day, and used to be a day of special rejoicing in olden times, in connection with which we still observe it by the omission of Tachnun, etc. May it bring you a year of Hatzlocho in every respect.

The Zechus of your Tzedoko, for which receipt is enclosed, will surely stand you in good stead for additional Divine blessings for the fulfillment of your heart’s desires for good.

With blessing

M. Schneerson
