Letter from R. Joseph Lookstein about R. Lamm's Mentorship to Haskel Lookstein (1952)

My dear Rabbi Lamm: I am sending you herewith a cheque for $200 as a fee which I promised you for the instruction that you gave to Haskel over the summer. I know how you feel about accepting this fee, but I want you to know how I feel about sending it to you. I would like to make it three times the amount, and even then it would not be adequate compensation for what you have done to and with Haskel.

Letter from R. Wurzburger about R. Lamm Receiving Ph.D. (1966)

Dear Norman: Please accept my heartfelt mazol tov upon receiving your Ph.D. and your promotion to a professorship. I am sure that with this kind of setting, you will be able to contribute even more towards the renewal of Jewish life. Not that titles can really add anything to you, but it's good to know that you no longer have to concern yourself with winning the approval of others in order to be certified as a learned man. Warmest mazol tov and all the best.Cordially,Walter S. WurzburgerWSW/jp

Dear Rabbi Lamm לאוי"ט, That was splendid news. Hearty מז"ט on a well-earned great achievement. I trust that בס"ד you will move מעלה מעלה towards the accomplishment of your ambition לטובת עם ישראל through undisturbed service to 'ה and תוה"ק in excellent health and serenity. We have been resting here (with a blessed minimum of conferences and משולחים) and ב"ה hope to leave to Lugano on Friday.
