TLS signed “B. M. B.,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, personal letterhead, August 21, 1962. Letter to Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, who had overseen the Manhattan Project during World War II. In part: "That was a particularly gracious and heartwarming letter you sent to note my birthday. I do appreciate your good wishes. Even more, I appreciate the knowledge that I was able to be of some help to you in those days when you carried one of the heaviest burdens any man ever carried. I like your amendment to the MacArthur dictum. If we could only find men who have the vigor of youth and the wisdom of experience we could overcome all our problems." In fine condition. General Douglas MacArthur frequently quoted and referred to a poem called 'Youth' by Samuel Ullman, surely the "dictum" that Baruch mentions here.
