Havavac"h iy"a nu"n melachto melachet shamayim etc. etc. ...

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your message about your wife's situation, may Hashem grant that her pregnancy proceeds properly and easily, and she should give birth to a healthy child at the right time and smoothly. It is known from my father-in-law the Rebbe zatzal that until she enters her fifth month of pregnancy she should not publicize it.

With blessing.

For a certain reason the sending of this letter was delayed and meanwhile your letters regarding the school were received as well as your suggestion that you should now enter into authority etc.—it is understood that one should not get involved in any matter of dispute (and certainly not such a dispute; this is clear). The very thought is surprising. There is no place for this suggestion.

Your letters from 7 Adar and earlier have been received—as above, it is not at all your place to get involved in matters of dispute and therefore you should continue in your current position for now etc.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches to maintain discretion regarding pregnancy until the appropriate time and strongly advises avoiding disputes or changes in position when controversy arises. Peaceful conduct and stability are emphasized as guiding principles.
