A chossid was travelling to the Rebbe in Lubavitch. In those days, one didn’t have access to devices that could give you directions, so they used landmarks and the posted signs to help them along the way. So whenever the chossid came to a crossroad or fork in the road, he looked at the sign and followed the arrow that pointed towards Lubavitch.

The letter, written originally in English, is from the archives of the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel.
