Letter to Jerome Kelman about Planned Lecture Series in Detroit (1960)
Dear Jerry: Thank you for your letter and expeditious reply. I deeply appreciate your efficiency in making the proper preparations as I had requested. Enclosed you will find a biographical summary giving you the pertinent data. I hope you will be discriminating in choosing only the appropriate information. I do not know if it is wise to announce the title of my talk, but if you and your committee desire one you may use the following: ”Fashioning a Future for Orthodoxy."It is quite all right to take care of all monetary matters when I get to Detroit.I have been requested by Mr. Baruch Litvin and some of the local rabbis to spend some time with them on Monday morning. I have therefore revised my schedule as follows:Sunday, May 15 – American Flight 337Leaving LaGuardia at 3:15 P.M.Arriving Detroit 4:10 P.M. (your time)Monday, May 16 – American Flight 338Leaving Detroit at 3:10 P.M.Arriving LaGuardia at 5:55 P.M. (D.S.T.)I want to close with my very best regards to your mother and wife. I look forward to seeing you all the weekend of May 15.Sincerely,Rabbi Norman Lamm
