By the grace of Hashem,
23 Tevet
To our friend, remarkable young man, the Rav Menachem Zeev Gringlass, Montreal,
I greet you and bless you,
I respond to your letters of the 12th and 16th of Tevet, as well as the two postcards.
A) Rav Pastinski is a rabbi of Vancouver, who is close to the Lubavitch movement and supports its Yeshivah*. It is therefore good that you contact him.
B) I thank you for your efforts for the dissemination of the conversations with the young. We are going to stop reproducing them by mimeograph in order to have them printed. The first time, several preparations were necessary and the publication was therefore delayed, but it should come out next week and we will then send you the number of copies you requested.
C) We will write, with the help of Hashem, to Rav Kamenitski, to Barenhols, to Kahanovitch and to the Talmud Torah* of Toronto.
D) Concerning the girls' school, everything must be done so that it is founded in your city. This was explained in detail in the letter addressed to all [1], of which you will surely take note.
E) We have sent you, this very day, 250 copies of the call issued by the Rebbe Shlita for the fast day [2], which has just been published with an English translation.
F) We have sent to Mr. Wolofski a report on the achievements of the Merkaz Leinyonei Chinuch. We asked him to disseminate it in the Necher [3]. No doubt it would be good for you yourself to encourage him to do so.
G) I have received your check and I have distributed it in accordance with your instructions.
H) It is no doubt unnecessary to explain to you the importance of the Maamad* [4], about which you have already written to me. I am surprised that you do not speak of it in your letters.
With my blessing of immediate Teshuvah, immediate redemption,
M. Schneerson
Director of the executive committee [5]
