Description

"A great deal of valuable information was obtained from my flight and the flights of Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, and Scott Carpenter"

Two items signed by John Glenn: a TLS signed "J. H. Glenn, Jr.," one page, 8 x 10, NASA letterhead, January 28, 1963, in part: "I would like to thank you for your interest and thoughtfulness in writing to me about the flight of the Friendship 7 spacecraft, and, at the same time, apologize for the delay in answering. I am sure you will understand that the task of answering more than 100,000 letters while continuing my work in the space program made the delay inevitable. A great deal of valuable information was obtained from my flight and the flights of Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, and Scott Carpenter. Each flight is a steppingstone in our ever-expanding manned space flight research program"; and an official vintage color 8 x 10 NASA lithograph of Glenn with a Mercury 7 pin on his lapel, signed in black ballpoint, "J. H. Glenn, Jr." In very good to fine condition, with edge toning to the letter, and overall rippling to both items.
