Brooklyn.

Blessing and greeting!

In reply to your letter of Tuesday of Parshas Lech Lecha, in which you ask, as there is now a possibility of moving your business to a more central corner, though through this you will enter into further debts.

In my opinion it is nevertheless worthwhile, in order to widen the vessels of livelihood, and then the verse is fulfilled, "הרחב פיך ואמלאהו" ("Open your mouth wide and I will fill it" — Tehillim 81:11). Provided only that the channels of livelihood are widened as well, that is, in matters of beauty in mitzvos, in the conduct of all those who depend on the livelihood of this business, each according to his situation and circumstances.

You will surely explain to each of them the great importance of beauty in mitzvos in any event, and especially in their present situation. May G‑d grant you success in earning a livelihood in tranquility, in kashrus and in abundance.

Enclosed is scrip from one of the funds of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe; you should invest its exchange in the expenses of moving the above business, and it will bring added success.

With blessing,

On behalf of the Rebbe, shlita,

A. Quint

Secretary
