Letter written by the nurse of Charles E. Taylor on his behalf, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 24, 1956. Letter to Vern L. Carstens, chief test pilot at Beech Aircraft. In part: “Mr. Charles E. Taylor has instructed me to send his heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation to the Beech Aircraft Corporation Test Pilots for your most generous gift at Xmas time…He has shown some improvement lately under the very splendid care at Foothill Sanitarium, San Francisco…His mind has always been sharp and alert, and he has never lost his interest in airplanes or the people who make them and the Great Boys who fly them (his words). Please accept the enclosed fabric as a direct gift from him.” Attached with a paperclip at the top is a 2.5 x 2 swatch of fabric (albeit without indicating from which aircraft it comes).
