Greetings and blessings,

I received the checks sent by you and your wife; enclosed is a receipt.

I heard a lot about you. I am happy that you remain bonded with the same connection as always.1 At present, after the passing of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, everyone must feel the responsibility that has fallen upon all of us more powerfully. This should call forth deeper powers to carry out the great, holy tasks that my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, left us so that they meet with both material and spiritual success.

Surely, you have fixed sessions for Torah study. You should maintain them steadfastly and increase them as much as you possibly can. You should also increase your acts of tzedakah and kindness and your efforts to influence others.

With blessings for proper health and for long life for you and your wife.

Enclosed is the kuntres for Beis Nissan.
