An excerpt from the first letter written by the Rebbe after the passing of the Rebbe Rayatz; maintaining a connection with the Rebbe Rayatz by studying his maamarim, sichos and letters, and by thinking deeply about the directives he gave

No. 557

This letter was sent to R. Nissan Nemenov, the spiritual mentor of the Lubavitch yeshivah in Brunoy, France.

B"H, 9 Shvat, 5710

Greetings and blessings,

Your letter was received. Enclosed is a kuntres[197] that was just published. Undoubtedly, as with the previous ones, you will share it with people at large.

Note the letter from my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe Shlita, published as an addendum.[198]

You will undoubtedly acknowledge receipt of the kuntres. Enclosed is a receipt for [the money sent] for the verses for Atah Horeisa.[199]

With wishes for all forms of everlasting good and with greetings to all those who seek our welfare.

M. Schneerson

I do not want to delay sending the kuntres until I complete my answer [to your question] concerning the maamar entitled Zeh HaYom.[200] Without committing myself with a vow, [I hope] to answer in the coming week.

For a particular reason, a receipt was sent [by the committee] for maamad for $10 (that you lent my revered mother at that time;[201] I paid the sum here;) with R. Naftuli Dulitzki who will pass through Paris.
