Haraha"g vaharaha"ch havavac"h iy"a nu"m etc. Shlomo Matusof

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I have just received your letter from the eve of Rosh Chodesh Elul. I also learned from the letter of havavac"h iy"a one who is involved in tzt"z MehorY Shai Almalich from the beit midrash of your son shai. May it be G‑d's will that just as you brought him into the covenant of Avraham Avinu, so may you bring him to Torah study, marriage canopy, and good deeds with expansiveness—both peace of mind and body—for both you and your wife together. May Hashem grant you to always share good news all your days.

Thank you for mentioning in your letter that you are sending books these days. As I believe I have already written in a previous letter, this does not refer only to Kabbalistic books but also to those on the revealed parts of Torah, etc. Surely you know that many books have been printed in Djerba; it is worthwhile to take an interest in them as well.

With blessings for a complete recovery to your wife and to the newborn boy shai, and with wishes for a good and sweet year and success in your holy work.
