Exchange with A. Leo Levin about Editing Dr. Belkin Festschrift (1969)

Dear Norm, I am delighted that you have accepted the editorship of the projected Festschrift in honor of Dr. Belkin. The good news reached me yesterday morning from Leonard Rosenfeld and I hasten to let you know how pleased I am. I hesitate to include in this letter a matter of a very different character, but these have been days of uneven tenor, including both deep sadness but also some very happy things. Permit me, then, to tell you here how very much all of us appreciated your warm words following the passing of my father Ztz'l. They brought comfort and I am grateful.Warm personal regards and best wishes for חג כשר ושמחSincerely,A. Leo LevinALL:djb

Exchange with Dr. Brayer about Offer of Bar-Ilan Presidency (1973)

יברכך ה' מציון וראה בטוב – ידידי היקר הרב ר' נחום יצ"ו ושלום לך ולביתך ולתלוים אליך – כולם עמדו על הברכה. תן תן לך על מאמרך בהדאר. ואעפ"י שלא זכיתי לשמוע במו אוני ולהשמע אושות בטמחתך. שמחתי לשמוע מנציגנו – (אשתו כגופו) רעיתי ת' על המאורע המוצלח והענין. ברם, אונה דומה שמועה לראיי' ואותות מחכומות. רואה אני שהתמחות הלשון מליצה עסיסית שחבריך לאזכו לזה. מובטאני שעוד נזכה ליהנות מפרי-עטך הפורה לאורך ימים ושנים ותעשיר את מתשבת ישראל מהגיגיך במרעננים.
