In his letter, the rebbe requests that he apprise him "regarding all that has happened to our brethren… there [in Russia] in recent years, in as much detail as possible".
The rebbe concludes with blessings on the occasion of his immigration to Eretz Israel: "And may you and your wife settle down in the best way possible… and may you soon see the realization of… whoever fulfills the Torah in poverty, will ultimately fulfill it in prosperity. With blessings for good health and good news".
