Letter from R. Jakobovits to Cardinal Spellman about His Meeting with R. Jakobovits and R. Lamm (1962)

My dear Cardinal: On behalf of my colleague Rabbi Norman Lamm and myself I beg to express to Your Grace once again our profound appreciation for the gracious reception accorded to us yesterday when we had the pleasure and privilege to call upon you.
