It has occurred to me that you might wish to have copies of illustrated booklets on the flights of Astronauts Glenn and Carpenter. We do not yet have a book ready for distribution on the Sigma 7 flight…My family joins me in wishing for you good cheer and happiness at Christmas which will remain with you the whole year through."
