שלום וברכה!
[תשכ"ז]
כדאי שתסדר התייעצות של (לפחות) ב-ג רופאים מומחים Memorialב Hospital או Mayo Clinic Rochester ותעשה כהוראתם - אבל אין להסכים לטיפול שיצטרכו לחתוך את Nerve של הראי' - היינו עיורון, ר"ל, תומ"י.
רפוקו"ש לגדלה לתחומע"ט.
שמירת טהמש"פ, עכ"פ מכאן ולהבא.
השמות (דבתה ושלה) ואזכיר עה"צ.

Shalom u'Vrachah!
It is advisable to arrange a consultation with (at least) two or three expert doctors at Memorial Hospital or Mayo Clinic in Rochester and to act according to their instructions—but you must not agree to any treatment that would require cutting the nerve of vision, meaning blindness, G‑d forbid, immediately.
May there be a complete and speedy recovery so she may grow up to Torah, chuppah, and good deeds. Observance of family purity laws is important, at least from now on. I have the names (hers and her mother's) and will mention them at the gravesite.
Summary
The Rebbe instructs seeking expert medical advice while firmly prohibiting any procedure that would result in blindness. He underscores the importance of spiritual observance and assures his prayers for those involved.
