Greeting and Blessing:
Your letters of May 6th and April 17th reached me with considerable delay, on account of the intervening Festival of Pesach.
Please be advised that your letters have been forwarded to the Rabbinic and lay leadership of the Vaad Hakahal of Crown Heights the representative body of the Crown Heights Jewish community, for consideration of the appropriate response to the subject matter of your correspondence.
I take this opportunity to extend to you prayerful wishes for success in your efforts "for a better Brooklyn."
