Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am in receipt of your letter of the 27th of Tishrei. Thank you very much for letting me know the good news about an improvement in the various matters about which you wrote in your letter. This surely strengthens the confidence that also the other matters will be improved and go from good to better.

With regard to the question of being cheerful, etc., surely when you will think deeply on the blessings G‑d has bestowed upon you and your husband, especially to have good children, enjoying good health, and so forth-surely this should arouse true joy in your heart.

In connection with your mentioning your forthcoming birthday, may G‑d grant that your Mazel should be renewed in the forthcoming year, in addition to the blessing for a good and pleasant year received on Rosh Hashanah.

With blessing,
