Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letters from the 14th and 15th of Menachem Av with their enclosures, and thank you for the good news in your second letter that finally "Didan Notzach" (our side has prevailed), and I am strongly hopeful that over time even those details which have not yet been agreed upon will be fulfilled, and I await further good news.

Regarding the Rabbi's request about reprinting certain articles and stories from the Shmuessen, etc., I rely on your judgment to decide on the spot. If you find it appropriate to permit them (assuming of course that their periodical is chareidi, etc.), then certainly you should require from them an official letter in which they commit that for every article and story they must indicate that it is by permission of Melach, and that the copyright is only with Melach. This has already been done several times in various countries...

Three mezuzos were sent as per your instruction. Regarding the matter of Ketzos HaShulchan, they have already written to you directly from the office.

With blessings for success in your holy work and awaiting further good news.

Summary

The Rebbe advises careful oversight when granting permission to reprint Torah material: ensure proper attribution and copyright protection remain with the original publisher. Use sound judgment in such matters and maintain clear communication regarding official commitments.
