By the Grace of G-d11th of Shevat, 5720Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Elazar Kalman Tiefenbrun
23B. Springfield
London, E.5
Greeting and Blessing:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 4th of Shevat, which was received before the Hilulo. I remembered you and your family in prayer when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory yesterday, on the day of his Hilulo.
The merit of your making additional efforts in learning Chassidus, for which my father-in-law of saintly memory had such Mesirus Nefesh all his life, will surely stand you and your family in good stead. May these efforts be accompanied also with a growing measure of good and happy things.
Hoping to hear good news from you,
With blessing,
By Nissan Mindel
