Nimitz, Fleet Admiral USA”; and a vintage one-page teletype, 8.25 x 8.25, from James Forrestal to Nimitz, dated August 14, [1945], sending congratulations after the Japanese surrender. In part: “My warmest congratulations on the successful completion of a great task. Please send to the commanders of the fleets and forces…my personal congratulations and the deep pride which America has in their accomplishments.” In fine condition, with “US” light but legible, due to decreased ink flow, and toning and fragile folds to teletype.
