Greetings and blessing!

It is surprising that there is no news from you about those of whom you wrote in a pan, although you have been reminded of this several times; for several reasons it is fitting that one should also know, after sending the pan, what has come of it. May it be G‑d's will that you be a good shliach to report good news always, all the days.

As to what you write about the number of students, that it is small: it would be worthwhile for you to speak with your colleagues, the administrators of Tomchei Temimim or Achei Temimim in the provincial towns, about the way they act to increase the number of students. Surely if it succeeds in other places it will suit your place too, all the more so. And since the financial situation is good, as you write in your letter, how much more so should the number of students be increased, and it is an established rule that outreach does not return empty, especially as the blessings of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, rest on all the institutions he founded, which are conducted in his spirit.

With blessing for good news in all the above.
