Description

"Korea's unification as an independent democracy is the major purpose of my life"

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.25, Kyung Mu Dai letterhead, March 24, 1955. Letter to New York Daily News cartoonist C. D. Batchelor, in part: "I want to thank you personally for the flattering cartoons you drew and sent to me for my birthday anniversary…I deeply appreciate your friendship and your use of your great talents in behalf of the cause of freedom. As you know, Korea's unification as an independent democracy is the major purpose of my life. I cherish America's strong support because the ideals for which the United States stands are the inspiration of freedom-loving peoples everywhere. Your cartoons are a most valuable feature of the New York Daily News. They play an important part in the thinking of millions of New Yorkers and others." In fine condition, with a light rusty paperclip impression to the top edge.
