Description

On the “tenth anniversary of Apollo 11,” Armstrong writes, “Let us hope that progress over the next ten years with an operational Space Shuttle will be even more gratifying”

TLS, one page, 7.75 x 7.25, no date but circa July 1979. A printed form letter sent to well-wishers on the tenth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. In part: “I very much appreciate the many letters I am receiving in conjunction with the tenth anniversary of Apollo 11. It’s very heartening to realize that so many people recall the event with so much enthusiasm…The continued progress in both manned and unmanned space flight over the past decade has been most heartening. Let us hope that progress over the next ten years with an operational Space Shuttle will be even more gratifying.” In fine condition, with creases to the lower right corner and trimmed edges. Accompanied by a sheet with two souvenir Apollo 11 patches affixed at the bottom, upon which the letter could be set for display. Superb content from the first man on the moon. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
