Sent to the administration of Kollel Kosov in Safed, regarding sending Pesach funds for the poor students of the Kollel. The Rebbe offers lengthy blessings: "I now bless them that God have abundant mercy on them and protect them from evil maladies and fears liable to come there, and may the communal pride of Israel be raised, and may we merit to go up to Zion joyfully. From their friend… blessing them to receive the upcoming Passover festival with joy and much propriety – Moshe son of the Tzaddik, the Rabbi of Kosov".
