Mr. Alexander Cowen,
250 W. 105th Street,
New York City.
Dear Mr. Cowen:
I am glad to inform you that the Manual of Blessings and Prayers has now been printed and is ready for distribution. As you know, owing to our conditions the delay was unavoidable. However, it is a timely publication and meets an urgent need.
Under separate cover a dozen copies is being mailed to you. Should you desire to have more, or should you desire us to send them to some of your friends, we shall, of course, be happy to comply with your request.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you once again, in behalf of the Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch and in my own name, for your kind co-operation in this matter. I sincerely trust you will continue to take a personal interest in the good work of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, and please be assured of our grateful appreciation.
With kindest personal regards,
Very sincerely yours,
Rabbi M. Schneerson,
Chairman, Executive Committee.
