Addressed to R. Yitzchak Levi, in response to his letter on his wife's pregnancy. The Rebbe offers him guidance, quoting the Rebbe Rayatz's aphorism "not to tell 'until she enters the fifth month'", and tells him to check the mezuzot in his home and for his wife to donate tzedakah to the fund of R. Meir Baal HaNes on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays before candle-lighting, while he should take care to study Chumash, Tehillim and Tanya. He goes on to bless his wife that the pregnancy and birth should go well and easily and at the right time.
This letter has not been published in the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Igrot Kodesh.
