TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, May 20, 1969. Letter of thanks for birthday wishes from a casual acquaintence. In part, “I do indeed remember meeting you at that Scout meeting in Brooklyn. Much has happened since then where the Scouts are concerned and I needn’t tell you how much it has meant to me to be associated with them.” Accompanied by a carbon copy of the letter written to Berlin. In 1940 Irving Berlin established the God Bless America Foundation, with all royalties from its performance earned by either Berlin or Kate Smith going to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America. That arrangement exists to this day. In fine condition, with expected folds and several staple holes to top left corner. R&R COA.
