By the Grace of G-d 14th of Kislev, 5717 Brooklyn, Ν.Υ.

Greeting and Blessing: 

I was pleased to receive your letter and read in it that you have received Smicha. 

Since you saw how G-d has been kind to you, and that you had no reasons to feel anxious, I am sure that this will even strengthen your faith in G-d with regard to the future, so that you can serve G-d with joy and in absolute peace of mind. 

As you requested, I will remember your friend, [...], in prayer for a speedy recovery, when visiting the holy resting place of my Father-in-law, of saintly memory. 

You ask what you can do in this case. I think it would be better for the one who had succeeded in getting him to the Doctor, to try again to persuade him to visit the Doctor and receive treatment. Although he would not cooperate in the past, perhaps he has changed his mind. I do not think that you, personally or the Yeshiva boys, should be in direct contact with him. 

With blessing,

By Nissan Mindel
