== The Day After Accepting Nesius == On Thursday Yud Alef Shvat, the Rebbe arrived at 770 wearing a sirtuk. After davening, the Rebbe asked Rav Yehuda Leib Groner to call secretaries Rav Chodakov and Rav Mindel to his room. The Rebbe said they needed new letterhead and asked for suggestions. They proposed replacing the Frierdiker Rebbe's name with the Rebbe's, but the Rebbe said this wasn't enough change. The Rebbe wanted 770's address to appear at the top, in Yiddish and English. The final text read: "Office of K'vod K'dushas Admur Menachem Mendel Shlita Schneerson." Shortly after, Rabbis Simpson, Jacobson, Levitin and Kazarnovsky were called to the Rebbe's room. The Rebbe asked them to arrange transfer of the Frierdiker Rebbe's library to his authority, explaining the nesius wasn't complete without this. Weeks later, Rav Simpson arranged a meeting to tell the Rebbe they'd gotten him a key to access the library. The Rebbe struck the table in disapproval saying, "This you call an achievement?! Until the library is under my authority, my leadership isn't complete!"
