TLS, one page, 8 x 10, February 25, 1955. Letter to Virginia Carlson Knight. In part: “Thank you so much for sending me your poem to the Unknown Soldier. It is splendid—both in thought and structure—and reflects much of your own glowing spirit. Both Jean and I enjoyed so much our visits with you and your distinguished husband and are deeply indebted to you both for such hospitality.” Also includes a typescript of the poem referenced signed by Knight and three mid-1950s ALSs from Jean MacArthur. Slightly irregular overall toning, otherwise fine condition. Letters are accompanied by the original mailing envelopes, and also present are many newspaper clippings about MacArthur. Virginia Carlson Knight was the wife of Goodwin Knight, the governor of California from 1953 to 1959. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
