By the Grace of G-d25th of Tishrei, 5721Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr. Benjamin Saachs
56, Filey Ave.
London, F.5
Greeting and Blessing:
I am in possession of your note which you wrote at the termination of the Festival Season, before your return to London. I trust you had a pleasant trip and that you found all the members of your family in good health and spirits. I am looking forward to receiving your letter to this effect.
I am gratified to read about your determination to utilize to the full the inspiration which you received here, to strengthen Yiddishkeit in your community in general, and to bring people closer to the ideals and activities of the Lubavitch House in London. Inasmuch as our Sages stated1 that he who is determined to do good, receives special help from On High, I am confident that you will be successful in your work. And may G-d grant that you do it with joy and gladness of heart, and that it serve as a channel and vessel to receive G-d’s blessings for yourself and your family, materially and spiritually,
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
