Exchange with Hans Bachrach about Logistics for Australia Visit (1973)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Very many thanks for both your letters of 30th April and 2nd May, which I received this morning. I apologize that I had not realized that you were coming from Fiji which is on the Australian side of the date line and therefore should not present any difficulties, except if one considers the alternate line opposite Jerusalem. Anyhow, we look forward to meeting you at the airport. Now we shall try to finalize your itinerary here, but we declare that if you feel like changing the flight to two days earlier, arriving here on the Friday, you are most cordially welcome, and we promise you, if desired, a restful Saturday at our home. Regarding your proposed departure, I regret to advise you that you may be in strife as you will only gain the day after your arrival at the first Yishuv (after crossing the date-line) Possibly you could give us that weekend and leave only on the Monday, 13th August, which would eliminate this difficulty.I regret that I am not conversant with micro film readers.Regarding the Rabbi in New Zealand, I shall make enquiries and advise you.Your new topics are challenging and will attract great Interest.Kind regards.Yours sincerely,
Australia & New Zealand

Exchange with Hans Bachrach about Logistics for Visit to Melbourne (1973)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Thank you very much for your letter of 11th June. Naturally, you can use my cable address which is "Bachrac Melbourne" and for telex the Leibler family have made their Astronaut Travel Service No. 31838 Melbourne available to you. My wife and I wonder whether it would be best for you to proceed from the airport to a motel or straight to our place. Considering the time factor and the early beginning of Shabbath our suggestion would be that you come to our place, where we are sure you will be comfortable. I accept your wish to leave the subject blank for as many appearances as possible and have told the people responsible that questions directed to you might be a most stimulating experience for members. The ladies of the community naturally would like to show Mrs. Lamm some of the local attractions and we wonder whether, on visits to schools, Mrs. Lamm would like to accompany you or whether we should try to make other arrangements for Mrs. Lamm.If there are mixed audiences, we assume that Mrs. Lamm would like to join in a number of the functions which you are attending.for the 300 boys and girls of about 16 years of age the Head Master of Mt. Scopus has reserved the time from 9 - 10.30 a.m. and for the 300 17 year olds the time from 1(145 - 12 Noon on Thursday, 19th July. If you feel inclined to be earlier at the school and join those volunteers who come for early Tephila, then they would be very happy for you to join them tor breakfast prior to the sessions outlined above.Please be good enough and advise when you will be leaving America and what your last stop and contact point will be prior to arriving here.Kind regards,Sincerely yours,
Australia & New Zealand

Exchange with R. Rosenfeld about His Trip to Australia (1962)

Dear Norman, The merry-go-round has started. Newspaper interviews, radio interviews, T.V. interviews, luncheon meetings, supper meetings, committee meetings, receptions, greetings. It all adds up to talk, speech, talk, speech, etc. Me – 12½ to 15 pp. The worst of it is lack of sleep. Since Monday 5 AM NY to Wednesday midnight here I slept nothing. Since then I’ve averaged 5 hours. My usual problem in talking is to keep the audience awake, here I struggle to keep awake myself.
