By the Grace of G-d 2nd Chanukah Light, 5739 Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr. Yekusiel Kramer
New York
Greeting and Blessing:
I was sorry to receive word just now that you are not well. May G-d send you a speedy Refuo,
Especially as we are now in the auspicious days of Chanukah, kindling the Chanukah Lights in increasing number from day to day.
The Zechus of your good works in spreading the light of the Torah and Mitzvos ("for a Mitzvah is a candle, and the Torah is light"1) will surely stand you and all your family in good stead.
With prayerful wishes, with esteem and
With blessing,
