Letter signed by “Rebbe Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn” of Lubavitch. Brooklyn, 22nd of Kislev 1949.
A year prior to his death Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak began signing the letter “Yud” of his second name (Yitzchak) in Assyrian (square) writing, which was a mystical indication of his imminent death on 10th of Shvat (his son-in-law, Rebbe of Lubavitch explained this occurrence at length in the Farbrengen [Chabad gathering] of Shabbat Parashat Va’erah 1951 – See attached material). This letter was sent less than two months prior to his death, which clearly portrays his special signature with the squared letter “Yud”.
