B"H, 15 Tammuz, 5718. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 10th of the month of redemption and joy, with the pan that will be read at an auspicious time at the holy resting place of the Baal HaSimchah, who is my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal nishmaso Eden.

I was very happy with the beginning of your letter, which this time came to inform me with joy, etc. May it be G‑d's will that from this beginning onward your affairs will proceed in ways of joy and visible and revealed good from now on—both in spiritual matters and in material matters, as one depends on the other; likewise in general matters and in personal matters, which also depend on each other.

And since we are commanded to always ascend in holiness, may all this be in a manner of increasing and progressing—both regarding human effort and regarding blessings from Heaven above—as is evident concerning bodily matters and health. For it is specifically about the body that it is said: "And You have chosen us from all nations and tongues," as explained in Tanya chapter 49.

Blessings for good news in all mentioned above.

Regarding treatment for your son shlita—follow the instructions of a specialist doctor for success with G‑d's help.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages approaching new beginnings with joy and striving for continual growth in both spiritual and material areas. He highlights the connection between body and soul, urging care for one's health through expert advice while seeking blessings for ongoing happiness and success.
