Description

“I have not the time to devote to the statement on the role of religion in the life of an active individual that it deserves”

TLS signed “ER Murrow,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Information Agency letterhead, July 20, 1962. Letter to Mr. Lichter denying a request, in part: “I very much regret that, due to the fact that I am preparing for Senate hearings into financing the USIA and for an extensive and demanding trip to the overseas posts of the Agency, I have not the time to devote to the statement on the role of religion in the life of an active individual that it deserves. At the risk of having my motives misunderstood, I should commend to your perusal the various statements contained in the modest volume I had the pleasure of editing years ago titles ‘This I Believe.’ I am certain it contains material of both applicability and value.” In fine condition, with light mirroring of text along bottom edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
