By the Grace of G‑d
11th of Menachem Av, 5731
[August 2, 1971]
Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

In addition to the regards which I have been receiving periodically through our mutual friends, particularly Rabbi Cunin, I was pleased to receive your letter of July 29th, and to note that the ceremony of giving your daughter the name of Channah has been duly carried out, and that she is very pleased about it.

May G‑d grant that together with the new name her Mazal should be renewed in all her affairs, especially in the very essential aspect of arranging the Get from her Jewish husband, as we talked about it at length when you were here and emphasized the great importance of it. Certainly, if any cooperation is needed on the part of Rabbi Cunin, he will be more than willing to do what he can, and may her renewed Mazal be reflected also in this matter.

I send you my prayerful wishes that your resolve to strengthen all good works, especially in regard to the Lubavitch activities in L.A., of which I was pleased to hear, should stand you and yours in good stead. All the more so since these activities are conducted at the initiative and in the spirit of my saintly father-in-law of blessed memory, at whose holy resting place you will be remembered. The vitality and joy with which these activities are carried out are a source of an additional measure of Divine blessings in all your affairs.

With blessing,
