Description

Uncommon letter and envelope signed by the first moonwalker

TLS signed “Neil,” one page, 8.5 x 8.5, University of Cincinnati letterhead, May 22, 1973. Letter to David Dawley, in full: “I was pleased to hear from you and am glad, of course, to return this note with the inscription on the bottom of the page (yours for the clipping). I don’t have a Pan Am reservation but do hope to return one day (by stowaway if necessary). Things continue to go well and remain challenging here at the University. And now and then, I have the satisfaction of thinking I’m doing something worthwhile.” Includes the original mailing envelope, which is signed in blue ballpoint, “Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11.” Also included is a First Moon Flights Club card issued to David Dawley, an unsigned photo of Armstrong in mid handshake, and a Western Union telegram, dated May 14, 1970, addressed to Dawley from Armstrong, in part: “It is an honor to serve with you as a member of the Peace Corps National Advisory Council appointed by President Nixon.” In overall fine condition. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
