By the Grace of G‑d
4th of Sivan, 5720 [May 30, 1960]
Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I received your letter of the 20th of Iyar.

With regard to the establishment of a Yeshiva in your place, I believe I wrote to you clearly that the fact that there is no possibility at this time to establish there a Lubavitcher Yeshiva, does not exclude the possibility of other groups establishing a Yeshiva there.

You ask whether I personally dictate my letters. Needless to say, I do indeed personally dictate my letters in detail, and furthermore, before they are sent off I read them over again to make sure that they have been transcribed to my satisfaction.

As we are approaching the Festival of Shovuos, the Season of Our Receiving the Torah, which this year happens to be also the 200th anniversary of the Histalkus of the Baal Shem Tov, I am sending you the enclosed copies of my messages which I hope you will make good use of in your efforts to strengthen Yiddishkeit in your community and to have a good influence on Jewish youth in particular, wherever it may reach.

Hoping to hear good news from you both in regard to your own advancement in the Torah and Mitzvos, as well as in your influence on others, and wishing you a happy and inspiring Festival of Shovuos, the Season of Our Receiving the Torah with joy and Pnimius,

With blessing,
