Letter to Harry Kemmelman Inviting Him to Author-Book Luncheon at Akiba Hebrew Academy (1966)
Dear Mr. Kemmelman: I hope that your most recent novel is doing well. As one who has helped in a very minor way, I have a "vested interest" in its success. There is a request, forwarded to me, for your appearance, and one which I approve of wholeheartedly. My brother, Rabbi Maurice Lamm, is Dean of Akiba Hebrew Academy in the Bronx. It is a most worthwile and significant school. As part of their program they have an annual Author-Book Luncheon. This year – in late March or April – they would like to have you as their guest.I would very much appreciate your affirmative response. Would you please let me know as soon as possible? If, as I hope, the answer is positive, it might be simpler to contact my brother directly in order to make all the necessary arrangements. He can be reached at 1764 Popham Avenue, Bronx, N. Y.- LU 3-5561 or 878-0166.Many thanks in advance,Sincerely yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fxbe: R. Maurice Lamm
