== Rabbi Simpson as a Chozer of the Rebbe Rashab ==
As a student in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim in Lubavitch, Rabbi Simpson was for over ten years one of the important chozrim of the [[The Rebbe Rashab]]. During the years he served as gabbai to the Rebbe Rayatz, he would sometimes repeat the sichos and maamarim and also write hanachos that were distributed among the chassidim. With the Rebbe, he would sometimes write hanachos for personal use only.

In 5673, when the Rebbe Rayatz was far from Lubavitch in Berlin, Germany, on his way to Switzerland, he requested Rabbi Simpson to send him weekly summaries of the maamar that the Rebbe Rashab said on Shabbos.

For a long period, Rabbi Simpson served as a chozer and manich for the Rebbe Rashab. During the saying of a chassidic discourse, he would concentrate on the Rebbe's words and they would be stored in his mind as if in a box. After reviewing the maamar, he would merit to enter together with several other chozrim to the Rebbe Rashab from whom they would hear corrections, additions and explanations to the maamar, and in the following days, the task of writing the hanacha from the maamar fell upon his shoulders.
