Letter from Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn – the Rayatz of Lubavitch. Brooklyn NY, 8th Shevat 1950.
Typewritten on the official stationery of Rebbe Rayatz.
In his letter, the rebbe offers advice to the recipient and blesses him: "May G-d bless him and grant him success in all his needs. Blessing him in material and spiritual matters".
The letter of Rebbe Rayatz was written on 8th Shevat 1950, two days before his passing on 10th Shevat 1950. It was given to his secretary Chaim Lieberman for transcription, but the latter did not manage to return the typed letter to the rebbe for signing. At the foot of the letter, instead of the rebbe's signature, the secretary added (typewritten): "I did not manage to present this letter to the rebbe for signing", and wrote (in his handwriting): "Signing tearfully, the secretary of the late rebbe, Ch. Lieberman".
