Dear Rabbi Lamm, I am writing this letter on behalf of Mount Scopus College as all of my fellow members of the Board of Governors have pleasant memories of your visit to Melbourne last year. We are at present planning for the coming Seminars, although I have no doubt that you are being kept aware of the position by Mr. Bachrach. I believe you are aware that each year our school conducts an annual appeal for funds within the Melbourne Jewish Community and our appeal time, which is allocated by the Board of Deputies, is for the month of November. This year is the 25th anniversary of the founding of Mount Scopus College and we have already had several functions to commemorate this event, but we hope to have an enlarged Appeal emphasising this period of our growth. I am therefore writing to you to enquire whether it would be at all possible for you to visit Australia and act as an Emissary for our Appeal this year. The period of your visit could be as short as 10–14 days and naturally expenses would be paid for you and your wife if she would like to accompany you, together with an appropriate fee. I am sure that you appreciate the importance of a successful Appeal to the College and we would be most appreciative if you are able to come to Melbourne to help us in this important task. My best wishes both to you and your wife and I look forward to receiving an early reply.Yours sincerely, P. Symons President
