Letter from R. Peli about Recent Article of R. Lamm (1963)

ידידי יקירי ר' נחום שליט"א, באמת הייתי צריך לכתוב לך מזה כבר ולוא בזכות המאמר הנפלא שלך "מתוך נפשנו פנימה," שגם אני וגם אבידור גמרנו עלים את ההלל לאמור עוד לא בא כבושב הזה," אלא שותה ידעת בכתיבת מכתבים... מוך אני למלא שלשה גליינות – דפוס עם מאמרים חתומים בשבעה שמות יתרו, אלא עד שאני בא לכתיבת מכתב ידי רפואת ואני דוחה כתיבתו מיום ליום ומשעה לשעה.

Dear Rabbi, One of the sins for which I'll ask God forgiveness this coming holiday is belated expressions of gratitude.
