Letter to Barry Schwartz Regarding Article Submitted to Tradition (1967)

Dear Barry: Thanks for sending me your brochures which I read with interest. Your article submitted to Tradition had been distributed to a number of editors for their comments. Today I wrote to Rabbi Wurzburger asking for the final editorial decision on the manuscript. As soon as I hear from him I hope to notify you. Incidentally, there is a young couple that belonged to our Synagogue but whom I have not yet been able to meet because they are in service. Since they are in Westover, I hope you will find the time to contact them and convey to them my best wishes. They are Capt. and Mrs. Joseph Elfenbein, 2C Malcolm Street, Westover AFB.All good wishes and best regards,Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz

Letter to Walter Wurzburger Returning Proofs for Tradition (1967)

Dear Walter: I have returned my final page proofs (only front and end material plus my articles) to Mr. Marks. You will, I hope, do the same as soon as possible. I understand that Barry Dov Schwartz recently mailed you an article on Jewish-Christian relations. What was the decision as to whether you print it or not? I am curious. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
