[ה'תש"ל]
הרי
שלום וברכה!
כו"כ
היו במצב דומה להנ"ל, וכיון שלא התייאשו ח"ו ועשו בדרך הטבע – כל התלוי בהם הצליחם השי"ת ועתה חזרו למעמדם וכו'. ובודאי גם אצלו יהי' כן. ויתייעץ עם ידידים סוחרים מה עליו לעשות וכו' וכן יעשה, מתוך בטחון חזק בה' המשגיח על כאו"א בהשגח"פ.
בדהתפוהמ"ז
באם ל"נ ביב"ח. קביעות עתים בכל יום בתורה. סענט אחדים לצדקה לפני תפלות החול. תהלים חדשי. ומהעיקרים – בטחון
חזק
בה'.
אזכיר עה"צ.
Greetings and blessings!
Others were in a similar situation as mentioned above, and since they did not despair but acted in a natural way—everything that depended on them succeeded for them by the help of G‑d. Now they have returned to their previous standing, etc. Certainly, it will be the same for you.
Consult with friends who are merchants about what you should do, etc., and do so with strong trust in Hashem Who watches over everyone with individual Divine Providence.
Establish fixed times every day for Torah study. Give a few cents to charity before weekday prayers. Recite Tehillim according to the monthly schedule. And most importantly—maintain strong trust in Hashem.
I will mention you at the resting place.
Summary
The Rebbe teaches that facing financial hardship requires both practical action and unwavering trust in Hashem. By seeking advice, strengthening Torah study and charity, and maintaining faith, one can overcome challenges and achieve success.
