Greetings and blessing!

In reply to your letters of 1 and 12 MarCheshvan, after the long silence. As to what you write, that seemingly if no one writes I should be satisfied, as this is a good sign that all is in the usual order: according to the experience of recent years, to my sorrow, in the great majority of cases this is not so. Would that from now on it will be as you write...

As to what you write about printing the sichos and maamarim, I must devote some time to this, which I do not have free at all; on the contrary, from time to time further preoccupations are added. According to the above, a further new preoccupation must be mentioned: that at times one must report here what is happening, and not wait until they demand it and then report only a general point, with the details becoming known from the side. Therefore they should not print my maamarim and sichos until I have reviewed them. A newspaper and a translation into another language are different. [See also below, vol. 16, letter 5933 (18 Kislev 5718), to the same recipient, answering his question whether to correct an error in printed sichos: "obviously it must be corrected... especially matters in print."]

Surely there are minutes of the meeting of Agudas Nshei U'Bnos Chabad in Kfar Chabad; please send me a copy. Many thanks in advance...

With blessing, awaiting good news,
