Greetings and blessings,

In response to your undated letter, that a shidduch with ... has been suggested to you. From your letter, it is apparent that you have not made a decision in either direction although, in general, the "faults" that you mention in my perception are not faults.

I am amazed that you write that you heard that with regard to [problems with the observance of] Shabbos or kashrus, there is utterly no question....[730] Is this enough for the daughter of a tamim[731] and a youth who is a tamim?![732] But this way of looking at things most likely stems from your pessimistic disposition.[733] Therefore according to my opinion, it is proper that you meet once or twice more; then it will become clearer to you whether you feel attracted or not.

Certainly, you have fixed times for the study of the teachings of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, hk"m, in addition to the other study sessions applicable to all others.

With blessing,

Menachem Schneerson
