Addressed to Rabbi Alexander Sender Yudasin, with blessings for Pesach: “chag kasher v’sameach, and true freedom, freedom from worry over temporal or spiritual matters, from anything delaying avodat hashem with happiness and peace of mind, to continue with freedom and happiness for the rest of the year.” At the end is his signature, followed by another typewritten section in which the Rebbe mentions Rav Yudasin’s blessing for his birthday “All those who bless are blessed with his own blessings by Hashem, who will add generously to the principal.”
