Dear Mr. Marks, I suggest that before I write up any proposal on the English translation of the Code of Jewish Law, you let me know about the suggestion that I made – namely, that you sponsor a research assistant who will work under my direction to prepare the groundwork for my translation. Please let me hear from you when you have mulled over the matter. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm.

Dear Mr. Marks: Dr. Neuschloss has finally mailed to me his sample copy of the translation, and partial updating, using that portion of the קיצור שלחן ערוך which deals with candle lighting on Friday night. Frankly, I am so overwhelmed in this season that I have not yet had the time to look at it. However, it is perhaps best that way – so that you may see for yourself, without my editing, what he has accomplished, comparing it (if you wish) with Golden.Please do be kind enough to let me have back this original as soon as possible, because I will want to review it immediately after the Shavuot holiday. Meanwhile, do be well and my best wishes for a very happy holiday.Cordially,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNLicwEnc.
