By the Grace of G-d9 Elul, 5743Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

Your letter of 22/06/83 reached me with considerable delay. As requested, I will remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart's desires for good.

There is surely no need to emphasize to you that all blessings come from G-d, and that the channel to receive them is through conducting the everyday life in accordance with His Will. Therefore, every additional effort in matters of Torah and Mitzvos, though a "must" for their own sake, widens these channels.

With regard to the problems you mention, these are of a kind that their proper solution can be found in consultation with knowledgeable friends locally, with whom all details can be discussed personally and frankly. And so it is written, "Help comes with the abundance of council."

May G-d grant that you should have good news to report in all above.

With the blessing of a Kesivo vaChasim Toivo for a good and pleasant new year

M. Schneerson
