My dear Miss Ray: 
 I was very happy to hear from you, and to receive the message from Professor Einstein.  
  I am enclosing a very humble check toward your work.  Regretfully I am in no position to give more; my own income is rather meager.  
  Perhaps in place of financial [illegible], I can render service with my god-given faculty of speech.  
  You may tell the group that I am moving heaven and earth to bring the atomic story to this rather primitive section of the nation.  
  Beginning May 3rd, I will deliver 12 radio talks, one weekly, on the subject and will distribute the text to all who may request it.  
  As soon as the booklet is off the press I shall send you several copies, and you might be able to use it for distribution among the clergy.  
  I promise to do all I can - my motive is selfish.  I want my child to live out her years.  
  to Professor Einstein my deep heart-felt wishes for good health and serenity of mind and more inspired creativity, 
                Respectfully,
                    Ely E. Pilchik, Rabbi
