TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, June 29, 1955. Letter to Ruth Hirschland. In part: “You undoubtedly know of the increasing concern that too many of our young people are spectators rather than active participants in athletic events. It has been suggested to me…ways might be developed to counteract this trend and to induce young people to participate more actively in athletic sports. Thereby the physical fitness of our American people would be improved and juvenile delinquency reduced.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
