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. If it meant nothing else but that he came under your Influence for eight weeks, that in itself would have been enough. If, in addition, he has received such expert instruction at your hands and if it en-abled him, as indeed it did, to decide upon his life work, then you can well imagine how grateful I am for the share you have had in all of that. Accept this not in the spirit of a fee but rather in the spirit of a gift given to one for whom I have genuine affection and for whose future welfare I have deep interest.A happy holiday to you and to your family.Very cordially yours.Joseph H. Lookstein
