Dear Rabbi Rabinowitz:

It was a pleasure to hear from you and to know that all is well with you.

We are looking forward with great expectation to your article on “The Time Lag of Halacha” for the Festschrift in honor of Rabbi Jung. We do hope it will be submitted at the time indicated.

As to the confidential information you solicited concerning “P,” all I can do is repeat with greater emphasis the estimation I originally gave you. He is a man of some talent and he makes a very favorable impression, but he is a thoroughly irresponsible person, and I would not say this if I did not feel that he could undo all the work that you have accomplished for the past years. This information is given to you of course on the premise that my name will not ever enter into the picture and that what I am telling you is only for your own information.

At the same time may I reiterate my warm recommendation of Rabbi Rabinovitch of South Carolina. You will remember that he was the one I recommended previously. It will be a great victory for all of Judaism if he will win the appointment.

With best regards to Mrs. Rabinowitz,

Sincerely yours,

Norman Lamm
