Shalom u'Vrachah!

... At an auspicious time I will mention all those you write about at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory. It seems that it is not being explained to them that when goodness comes as a result of being mentioned at the holy resting place, it should simply lead them to greater inspiration—especially in studying the teachings of the one at rest there and following his ways. If the one receiving blessing is influential in his circle and environment, he has an absolute obligation to publicize throughout his surroundings the teachings and guidance of the one at rest there, and this is clear. May it be Hashem's will that at least now he will engage in this.

I am interested to know how it came about that he wrote and mentioned regarding the son of Mr... In what you wrote about the special Torah scroll, etc., it is evident that they changed from alef to hei; obviously this needs clarification—who changed it and when—for in Eretz Yisrael it is known that some years ago so-and-so's emissaries did as above, and apparently in several places such acts were done in secret. I myself only learned of this in recent years. See Sefer Mishnat Avraham section 32 which lists Torah scrolls of holy martyrs—not necessarily from Chabad—that were careful to write with alef; also see my letter printed in Otzar HaPoskim at the end of volume one.

Certainly they also used the time of Matan Torah for spreading the wellsprings; please write also about this with necessary details.

With blessing for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that receiving blessings should inspire deeper commitment to learning and spreading his teachings. Those with influence have a clear duty to share these teachings widely within their communities.
