By the Grace of G-d19th of Adar, 5721Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Chaim Yaakov Lipchitz
168 Warburton Ave.
Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y.
Greeting and Blessing:
This is to thank you for your note and best wishes for Purim, together with the Shallach Monos. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and attention.
You do not mention anything about matters of health, or other affairs in your family, from which I gather that all is well.
I have had occasion to observe that the commandment to increase joy with the entry of Adar,1 implies that every day of the month should have a larger measure of joy over and above the increased measure of joy in the previous day, and so on, in a compounded way each day. Similarly, it should be with all matters of Torah and Mitzvoth. Since G-d’s reward is in kind and in a most generous measure, His blessings come in a similar compounded way. May it be so with you and yours, and may you have good news to report in good health and contentment.
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
I trust you will find the enclosed of interest.
