By the Grace of G-d15th of Menachem Av,5746. Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Yona Eliyahu Sears
236 Camp Street
Providence, R.I. 02906
Greeting and Blessing:
This is to acknow[l]edge receipt of your letter of Aug. 18th, with the enclosure.
As requested, I will remember you in prayer when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of saintly memory.
In reply to your question about the inadvertent lack of Shemiras Shabbos, asking for a Tikun, in addition to your resolve to be extra careful in Hilchos Shabbos henceforth - it would be advisable to make an effort also to impress others about the importance of Shabbos observance, to prevent any inadvertent desecration of the Shabbos.
I also suggest that you should have your Tefillin checked to make sure they are Kosher.
Receipt is enclosed for your Tzedoko, and may it additionally stand you in good stead.
With blessing,
M. Schneeson
