Sholom uBrocho:
I received your letter and was sorry to note that you required hospitalization.
(Incidentally, you use the term “Beis Cholim” which is, of course, in common usage, but, as I have had occasion to point out, I prefer the term "Beis Refuo” for several reasons, including the simple reason that this corresponds to the function of a medical facility).
Inasmuch as in the month of Adar the mazal of every Jew is בריא may G-d grant you a Refuo Shleimo and Refuo Krovo, and since the month of Adar leads directly into the month of Nissan, the month of geulo, may it also bring you, in the midst of all our people, a Geula from all distracting things, so as to serve G־d wholeheartedly and with complete joy.
Your pidyon will be remembered at the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory, and the zechus of your tzedoko, for which receipt is enclosed, will additionally stand you and yours in good stead.
Wishing you and all yours a kosher and joyous Pesach.
With blessing,
P. S. You do not mention anything about your daughter, and I trust you will have good news to report also about her.
