Greeting and Blessing:

I was pleased to receive your telephone message and regards from Florida through our mutual friend, RNM.

As we are still in the auspicious month of Nissan, the month of Geulo, and coming from the "Festival of Our Liberation,'' which, in a broader sense, includes also personal liberation from distractions and the like - may it be so with you and with all of us, in the midst of our people, in a growing measure.

Indeed, as our Sages declare, personal Geulo is a prelude to the true and complete Geulo of our people, which is likewise destined to come in the month of Nissan.

I will remember you in prayer at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of saintly memory, whom you were privileged to meet and receive his blessings in the company of the late Alexander Cowen, some forty years ago and since. Incidentally, and perhaps not incidentally, after the meeting, the Rebbe noted (also in writing) that he recognized in you considerable potential capacities in general, and in regard to spreading Yiddishkeit, in particular. I am certain that his expectations are being, and will be, fully realized.

My prayerful wishes For your good health and Hatzlocho in all your affairs.

With esteem and blessing, and warm personal regards,

M. Schneerson
