Description

TLS in Polish, signed “Karol card. Wojtyla,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, personal letterhead, August 29, 1972. Addressed from Krakow, a letter to "Reverend Rector," in full (translated): "On Sunday, 15 October 1972, a ceremony will take place in Oświęcim, at the site of the martyrdom of Blessed Maximilian Maria Kolbe, commemorating the first anniversary of his beatification. For this exceptional ceremony, I most cordially invite the Reverend Rector, the superiors, professors, and seminarians of your seminary." In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
