Letter to Israel Kelman about Gratitude for Hospitality and Assistance in India (1961)

Dear Israel: I have just returned this past week to New York but I want to let you know at once how grateful I am to you for your hospitality and the assistance you so graciously offered me at every step. In Israel I had more than one occasion to sing your praises. I talked about you to Bet Aryeh, Shragai, and all other officials down the line. I do hope that by now you have a working relationship with A. D. Jhirad concerning the educational work of the UOJCI. It will still take some time until I can put into effect all the plans and fill all the requisitions but I hope that in due time all will be done.My very best regards to Yechiel and Mrs. Michael.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter from Dr. Weiss to Mrs. Meyer about Logistics for Max Stern's Visit to India (1962)

Dear Mrs. Meyers, Having learned that Mr. Ellis Meyer is presently in London, England, I take the liberty of addressing the following request to you: Mr. Max Stern, the distinguished chairman of our Joint Overseas Commission, will be at the Great Eastern, Calcutta on January 15th. He will stay at the Great Eastern Hotel. He would like to utilize his stay in Calcutta to meet with Rev. Silas, the father of Rabbi Silas of London. Could you possibly make available to Mr. Stern the address and phone number, if any, of Rev. Silas? A note addressed to Mr. Stern at the Great Eastern Hotel would be all that is required.If I could impose upon your kindness even further, would there be any possibility of informing Rev. Silas that Mr. Stern would like to meet with him on January 15th? In such case, Rev. Silas could leave a message at the hotel at what time he could see Mr. Stern, and they may agree on a mutually convenient time for a brief meeting.Since the matter concerns the Indian Jewish community, your gracious cooperation will be deeply appreciated.Thanking you in advance, I am, with all good wishes,Sincerely yours,DR.

Dear Dr. Weiss: I just want to tell you very briefly that your two letters, to Gotthold and Jhirad, were both superb – each written in the appropriate tone and perfectly suited for the recipient. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
