Letter from Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Brooklyn, New York, 24th Sivan 1953.

Typewritten on the Rebbe's official stationery, with his signature: "M.Schneerson"; with words added by hand.
Addressed to R. Yitzchak Levi. The Rebbe congratulates him for his letter reporting growth in service of G-d, Torah study and mitzvah performance, and offers him a blessing and guidance to continue to grow over time, along with the rest of his family. The Rebbe goes on to promise to mention him and his family at the gravesite of his father-in-law the Rebbe Rayatz (the Rebbe adds a handwritten honorific blessing after the name of the Rayatz) and writes that he enclosed copies of his Shabbat Mevarchim Sivan discourse to distribute to mashpias with "added explanation on your part".
At the end of the letter, the Rebbe adds by hand the blessing:
"Success and proper health – M.Schneerson".
This letter has not been published in the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Igrot Kodesh.
