Mr. Julius Stulman
171 West Street
Brooklyn, N.Y.
My dear Mr. Stulman:
I was pleased to receive regards from you through our very esteemed friend, Mr. Alexander Cowen, who visited me this week.
In the course of our conversation he mentioned that you are planning to address a Quaker meeting on the subject of Religion, and that you would like to discuss the topic with me beforehand.
I will surely be glad to discuss the topic with you, if you think it would be helpful to you in preparing your address. Please call my office (HY 3 - 9250) any afternoon to arrange a mutually convenient time.1
With kindest personal regards and best wishes,
Cordially yours,
M. Schneerson
