Mr. Julius Stulman,
171 West Street,
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Stulman:
I wish to thank you for your letter of February 3rd, and to inform you that your request was promptly complied with. Should there be any more of your friends to whom you would like us to send the Manual of Blessings and Prayers,1 please do not hesitate to write to me.
In further appreciation of your kind co-operation in the past, we have placed your name on the list of life-subscribers to the "Talks & Tales" published monthly by our organisation. As to the great worth of these monthly publications, despite their nominal price, you will be able to judge for yourself. I might mention that some Jewish schools have subscribed all their hundreds of students in toto for these publications.
Looking forward to your continued interest in our work, and with kind regards,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
Rabbi M. Schneerson
