Exchange with Michael Tabor about the Visit of a Young Woman to England (1976)

Dear Michael: I do not know if I owe you a letter, or you owe me one, but as old friends we can mutually agree to forgive all debts and start over again. (Let's assume this is the year of our correspondence!) The reason for my writing is a young lady whom I have known for a number of years, both through personal meetings and correspondence (not unlike our correspondence). She is a very sensitive, poetic person, very bright and cultured. She is about 20 years old and a student in Barnard, who is now on her way to London for a semester. I have given her your address and asked her to contact you, in the hope that you will be able to invite her on some free day for her to visit Carmel – and, meanwhile, take the opportunity to talk with her. I think it would benefit her greatly just to meet a person like yourself.Mrs. Lamm and the entire flock join me in sending our warmest regards to your good wife and family.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammNL:gf

Exchange with R. Stolper about Providing Blurb for His Book (1967)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: The publication of “The Road to Responsible Jewish Adulthood” represents the first time to my knowledge that the case for Tznius, the traditional Torah attitude towards the relationship of the sexes, has been set forth with the American teenager in mind. We would like to obtain the largest possible readership for the book. In promoting its sale, I should like to include quotes from a number of prominent personalities. Might I trouble you to give your evaluation of the book in a brief paragraph. Please do so with the understanding that I will feel free to make use of your statement in print. With thanks, I am Sincerely yours, Rabbi Pinchas Stolper

Exchange with Roger Harris about Request for R. Lamm's Autograph (1976)

My dear Dr. Lamm: I am compiling a collection of autographs of outstanding persons. I hope you do not mind my imposing upon you and will permit me to include you in my collection as I sincerely believe that you, through your inspiring efforts and contributions, are endearing yourself to many people. If you would be so kind as to autograph the front of my enclosed "Four Chaplains envelope," I shall be very grateful. A stamped, return-addressed envelope is included for your convenience. Of course, if you have a photo available (any size) that you could autograph, it would please me immensely. I would be interested in knowing, Dr. Lamm, what you consider your greatest satisfaction thus far during your distinguished career? With cordial best wishes, Sir, for much happiness and continued success, Respectfully yours, Roger Harris
