By the Grace of G-d 3rd day of Chanukah 5716Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

Although I do not know you personally, I take this occasion to congratulate you on having such a fine daughter as your. . ., whom I have met and talked with. Inasmuch as a child reflects, to a certain extent, the character of parents, your daughter is certainly a credit to you.

The main purpose of my writing to you is to extend to you my expression of Mazzal Tov and best wishes, that you have much Nachas, real Nachas, which is Yiddish Nachas, from your daughter on her forthcoming marriage, and from all your children. Knowing the Bridegroom . . . personally, I am confident that you will have much real Nachas from the newly-weds.

With the blessing of Mazzal Tov,

I have learned with regret that as matters now stand none of the Bride’s immediate family intends to go to Los Angeles for the wedding. I need hardly state that marriage is a unique event in one’s life, leaving a profound, inner impression for the rest of one’s life. I therefore take the liberty of expressing my earnest suggestion and hope that you will reconsider the matter with a view to having someone close to her of the family accompany her to L.A. and be present at her wedding. With the proper effort, there are still a few days left to make this possible. Because of the time element, I am sending this letter Special Delivery.
