Exchange with R. Abraham Kelman about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Norman: It is a real pleasure to join the large numbers of your well-wishers in congratulating you on your most distinguished appointment as President of Yeshiva University. It was a wise and ideal decision. We are all confident that you will bring honor and great leadership to the Yeshiva and inspiration to Klal Yisroel. Lee and I especially rejoice as Bnei Hamishpocho. By coincidence, I just read the fine biographical sketches of your family in the republished Sefer of your late grandfather, זצ"ל. Your work and contribution will surely be a great and fitting continuation of a wonderful family tradition. I am enclosing a check for the book fund, as suggested by your uncle. Kindest regards and warmest wishes for success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, Abraham Kelman
