Letter from Irving Mehler about R. Lamm's Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1963)

Dear Norman: Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending me a copy of your recent sermon touching upon the demise of the late President Kennedy. Your sermon was excellent and quite touching. Yet, the heightened solemnity of the occasion in reference to the man, his position, his ideals and his strivings and accomplishments makes language – to paraphrase one of your statements – a woefully inadequate instrument of communication pertaining to the many nuances of feeling attached to this particular situation. Words truly fail here. We are all fine and we trust this finds you, Mindy and the children in the best of health and spirits. With warmest personal regards from all of us, I remain Sincerely, Irving Mehler.
