Letter 12

[Although the letter is dated 5724, the Rebbe's thanks for the "expression of sympathy" seems to indicate that it was actually written in 5725, following the passing of his mother, Rebbetzin Chana. Additionally, in the letter dated 4 Cheshvan 5724, the Rebbe begins "After a long interval" seemingly confirming that this letter could not have been written in 5724, as it is dated only five days earlier.]
