TLS signed “Virgil I. Grissom,” one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA Space Task Group letterhead, August 18, 1961. Letter to an admirer. In full: “Thank you for your congratulations and thoughtfulness. Your reaction as a fellow American has been most heart-warming to me. I am very proud to have been a part of this step in our space program.” In fine condition, with a mild block of toning over the entire letter from previous display, light erased pencil matting guides to the borders, and a trivial paperclip mark to the top border. Grissom wrote this letter a month after his near-catastrophic Liberty Bell 7 flight.
