[By the Grace of G-d]19th of Shevat, 5722Brooklyn 13, N.Y.

Sholom uBrocho:

After not having heard from you in a long time, I was pleased to receive your letter of the 7th of Shevat, and to read in it about your progress of studies and daily conduct.

I surely do not have to remind you about the obligation to advance in all matters of holiness. For however satisfactory the present standard may be; it is not enough to maintain it, but one must steadily rise to a higher Madregoh in every aspect. In Limud Hatorah, both Nigleh and Chassidus and in Kiyum Hamitzvoth with Hiddurim and there is, of course, always room for improvement, where there is will and determination.

With blessing,
