April 26, 1973 Mr. Elliot B. Gertel 209 Ruggles Columbia University New York, N.Y. 10027 Dear Elliot: Many, many thanks to you for sending me your splendid essay, which I found most illuminating. I read it during חו״ל and it added to my enjoyment. I am sending along reprints of three of my articles that have some relevance to your theme. The lack of time to comment on your paper in detail makes this the best way for an exchange of ideas – short of actually meeting. I shall indeed be pleased to meet with you and renew our acquaintance. Meanwhile, my very best wishes to your parents and grandparents. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm NL:cw Enc.

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Since you most kindly asked to see anything else I may publish, I am sending you an article which apepared several months ago and which I've been waiting to mail you after your return from your trip to Australia, which I hope was rewarding. I hope that your Shavuot was a chag saemiach. With all best wishes to you and family, from all of us, for a summer of בריאות הנפש ובריאות הגוף.
