Letter to Dr. Shatz about Receipt of Hamevaser Copies (1968)

Dear David: Thank you very much for the 12 copies of Hamevaser. There is no need to apologize about the change in title. It is standard procedure to have headline writers change things about at their own whim, and your own headhunter did not do too badly with my article. The issue was generally an excellent one, and a great improvement over past issues. My congratulations and best wishes for continued success. Regards to everyone at home, and our good wishes to all of them for a happy holiday. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter to R. Kasher about Publishing His Sefarim (1970)

לכ' האי גברא גדול, איש השלימות, מרנא ורבנא הרה"ג מוההר"ש כשר שליט"א, החיים והשלום, רב תודות לרומע"כ על אשר זיכני בחוברת שהו"ל "הולדם של הירח," ושהופיע ג"כ ב"נועם." קראתי אותו בעיון רב ותשומת לב הדרושה לכל כתבי מע"כ, וכרגיל מצאתי בו דברים יקרים וחשובים. הריני מנצל את ההזדמנות הזו לשלח לכש"ת רצו"ב העתק של מאמר שהדפסתי ישעתו כל אותו נושא. דווייוולי, לבהיעם לחג כשר ושמח, בכבוד והערצה, נורמן לאם

Letter to Stephen Pickering Asking Him to Return a Book about R. Kook (1975)

Dear Mr. Pickering: A year ago you wrote to me asking to borrow a little book that I once wrote, Rav Kook, Man of Faith and Vision – although I did not know you personally, I gladly mailed you my last copy (I thought I had one or two left when I sent it to you, but I do not) with the request that you return it to me after you have finished with it – I wrote to you on December 31st 1974; on February 14th 1975; and on April 28th 1975 – there were, thus, three reminders that you promised to return the book as soon as you read it, and you even told me you would photostat it immediately and send it back to me – I am shocked and outraged that you have not seen fit to respond to any of my previous letters – your original request was couched in a good deal of piety, and I assumed that a man of such Jewishness would not be as callous as you have apparently turned out to be – I would like to have the book back as soon as possible. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
