TLS signed “E. P. Hillary,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, New Zealand High Commission to India letterhead, May 9, 1985. Letter to a reverend in Las Vegas. In part: “I am already finding my time in India a stimulating experience. It is a country with a great deal of vitality and much is always happening–both good and bad. I had the pleasure of a half hour discussion with Rajiv Gandhi and was most impressed–he seems gentle but firm with a wide general knowledge and much commonsense. I believe he is very important for India just at present.” Mild toning to upper portion of letter, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
