Dear Mr. Weiss: Just a note to let you know how grateful I am to you for the beautiful ties which you got for me for Hannukah. I hope that we will have "ties" of friendship that will bind our families together for many, many years to come. Please give my very best wishes to Mrs. Weiss for whose health we pray, and our sincerest prayers for success in all your undertakings. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Dear Arnold: I was very pleasantly surprised by the cigars that I found on my desk yesterday. Thank you so much. You may be sure that my appreciation will not vanish as quickly as the smoke from your gift. Best regards. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
