Shalom u'Vrachah!

It is surprising that since you traveled, there has been no information from you, even though the matter of "V'Yaakov halach l'darko" (And Yaakov went on his way) has already begun—that he took with him all the matters of the month of Tishrei, the seventh month which is full of all good, and this goodness influences the matters of the rest of the months of the year. Surely you will fulfill this at the earliest opportunity, and also send a clipping from newspapers where words of inspiration were printed, etc.

Enclosed is a newspaper clipping from the Morgen Journal about books distributed to various places from the She'erit HaPletah collection. I ask that you take an interest in this matter as some of Anash did in other places—usually informally—by exchanging books that are not commonly found but are present in this collection (and obviously are not studied in countries like Australia, Brazil, etc.) for Kehot books, and sending these books to the library here which serves many people.

The benefit here is twofold: rare books will not be left unused as if they have no value, and furthermore there will be an opportunity in these places to see Kehot books on Chassidus and similar works or at least siddurim etc., which inevitably will add another person who prays or at least reads and becomes interested. I rely on your understanding as to how to bring this matter into action; enough said.

It is understood that shipping and packaging costs etc., along with many thanks, will be covered from here.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages proactive reporting after Tishrei and urges efforts to exchange rare Jewish books for Kehot publications so more people can access Chassidic texts. He emphasizes practical action and assures support for related expenses.
