Description

“I have the highest esteem for both the creativity and engineering acumen of the Brothers Wright”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, National Aeronautics and Space Administration letterhead, March 10, 1970. Letter to Charles H. Hulse, in full: “Thank you very much for your kind letter of congratulations on the successes of the flight of Apollo XI. I have the highest esteem for both the creativity and engineering acumen of the Brothers Wright and certainly think they should be and will be honored in the manner you suggest. However, I feel it would be inappropriate for me to take a public position in this matter, and do not feel at this time that any such endorsement will be necessary for the success of your effort.” In fine condition, with a typed descriptive label affixed to the lower blank area. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
