Greetings and blessings,

Through our friend, the chassidic leader R. Yehudah Leib HaLevi Horowitz, I received the donation given by your shul that was sent to [be distributed] at my discretion. I divided it [in the manner] apparent from the receipts that you will receive from the office.

It is superfluous to emphasize the great merit that everyone has through participating in the work of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, זצוקללה"ה, נבג"ם, זי"ע, הכ"מ, in the different fields of education and rescue1 that he carried out. You certainly understand the great responsibility that lies on every person to continue and expand the work of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe,הכ"מ. Through these [efforts], we create mediums to receive the blessings that he will certainly provide to those who are bonded with him and help him, [causing] them and the members of their households to be blessed with all matters of good in both material and spiritual matters,

With blessings for all types of good,

Menachem Schneerson
