By the Grace of G-d 3rd of Iyar, 5744 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

I was pleased to receive your letter of May 4th with the enclosure, and the good news of the happy family reunion which you had although I am sorry to note that your son had to have wheelchair assistance. May G-d grant that you should have even happier family reunions in the future.

With regard to the treatment about which you wrote please let me know your Jewish name together with your mother's Jewish name, as is customary, and I will remember you in prayer when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory for the success of the treatment and speedy recuperation.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending me the photograph of your recent sculptures and may you continue your creative and inspired works in good health and peace of mind.

With esteem and blessing,

M. Schneerson

P.S. Since writing the above, received your letter of May 17, with enclosures. I reiterate my prayerful wishes that the medical treatment should be in a happy and auspicious hour, and that you should have good news to report.
