TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, The President of the Republic of China letterhead, May 24, 1962. Letter to Kansas politician Harry H. Woodring, who served as Secretary of War under FDR from 1936 to 1940. In full: "Your letter of March 20, 1962 has come to hand. It was really good to hear from an old friend. Yes, I recall with gratitude your wartime help to us. It is heartening indeed to hear you say that 'a sincere and true friend of the Republic of China may again be of some assistance.' I am glad to know that you are thinking of visiting this part of the world in the near future. Nothing will make me happier than for you to visit us. Please let me know as soon as your travel plans are finalized." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope.
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.
