Sholom uBrocho:

I duly received your letter of February 27. 1 trust my letter to… wedding arrived in good time, and I reiterate my good wishes for Mazzal-Tov, Mazzal-Tov, and may there always be Simchas in…

I hope and pray that the treatment in the case of your wife has been successful, and may you have good news to report about this and about all your affairs, personal and communal. Especially now that we are in the happy month of Adar, leading to the auspicious month of Nissan, the month of Geulo and freedom; may it bring freedom from all anxiety and undesirable things that interfere with serving G‑d with joy and the fullness of heart.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson

Enclosed is a copy of a message, which I trust you can make good use of in your public work.

P.S. Since dictating the above, your subsequent letter of March 20 was received and many thanks for the gratifying report regarding the success of the recording1. In accordance with the teachings of the Torah “Loi hamedrosh ikor, elo hamaase2,” I trust that there will be practical results in terms of increased study of Chasidus and practical matters of Chasidus in your community.

I also received the cable regarding Mr. Hamburger whom I will remember in prayer when visiting the Ziyun. May you have good news to report. An acknowledgment will be sent to him in care of you.
