TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Peace Corps letterhead, July 16, 1971. Letter to Grant Treaster, Jr. thanking him for submitting a poster entry for the Peace Corps anniversary, and congratulating him for being a finalist. In part: “I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts in entering the Peace Corps’ Tenth Anniversary Poster Contest. The response from the nation was overwhelming. Well over 1,500 posters were entered in the contest, with the majority of them being of very high quality. And I am pleased to advise you that from among that number, the judges selected your poster as one of the sixty finalists. Although there is no monetary prize for this distinction, I would like to congratulate you on your achievement…To have been selected as a finalist from among such competition is indeed an honor, and one of which you can be justly proud. Again, may I extend to you my sincere congratulations.” Mild swath of toning lightly affecting portions of text and signature from adhesive remnants on reverse, and a horizontal mailing fold lightly affecting a couple letters of signature, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a newspaper clipping about Treaster’s poster submission, with an image of the poster, and announcing the eventual winner. Armstrong served as Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Peace Corps from 1971-1973.
