B"H, 11 Elul, 5715. Brooklyn.

From the desk of Haraha"ch nu"n etc. Menachem Mendel Shmuel Slonim

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter from Thursday, Elul 5th, with its enclosed precious Igros Kodesh of Harav Hatzadik Haraha"ch etc. Harav Hillel of Paritch and of the Rebbe (Maharash) of blessed memory. Many thanks for this gift; although there are photographs here, it is clear they are not at all comparable. Certainly, since you have been inspired in this matter—if you find in your possession or under your authority any chassidus notebooks from your father of blessed memory or from other family members or Igros Kodesh as above—do not withhold this good from me; my heartfelt thanks are given here in advance.

As you requested, all those you wrote about will be mentioned in the pan at the holy resting place of the Rebbe Rayatz zatzal. Certainly, you will strengthen your connection by keeping his directives and following the path he taught us—in addition to the three daily study portions in Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya known to all; whoever adds is granted additional merit.

With double and redoubled thanks for sending these items and with blessings for a good inscription and sealing for the new year.

P.S. I see in your letter that you are also descended from Haraha"g of Dribin of blessed memory; I am interested to know if his descendants are publishing manuscripts from his estate—many thanks for details on this. In a separate package I am sending you some publications from here; please confirm their receipt.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that true connection is strengthened by following the Rebbe's guidance and maintaining regular Torah study. Sharing family chassidus writings benefits both sender and recipient and deepens communal bonds.
