B"H*

Greetings and blessings,

I am responding to your letter of 27 Nissan*, with its enclosure, for which I attach the receipt.

At a propitious moment, I will mention all those you cite at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe*, whose merit shields us, so that each may obtain the satisfaction of his needs.

You tell me that you are campaigning for family purity, but that nobody wishes to accept its principles. May Hashem* preserve you from speaking thus against Jews! It seems that you have not understood what I wrote to you and that you see in this only the benefit of others, of the people to whom you address yourself. Yet, in your case, and given the relationship that your children maintain with you, convincing others to observe family purity is indeed one of the favorable practices that are of a nature to improve this relationship. It is for this reason that you must conduct this campaign as if it concerned you personally. I hope it is unnecessary to say more.

With my blessing to convey good tidings and to know peace of mind,
