Three one-page TLSs, each on NASA letterhead, individually signed by James Lovell, Frank Borman, and William Anders (signed “Bill”), two dated 1969. The Lovell letter, to entertainer Jack Benny, reads in part: “This flight around the moon showed us some excellent landing sites; and Frank, Bill, and I promise that on one of our succeeding flights to the moon, we will stake out a homestead claim for you applicable to the year 2000!” Borman’s letter to publisher Hy Gardner reads in full: “I have no plans to fun for Congress and I am busily engaged in my job as Field Director, Space Station Task Group.” Anders’ letter to Rooster Andrews reads in part: “I am glad you enjoyed the flag. It isn’t very large but it has been a long way and we of the crew are proud that you have accepted it.” He has added a brief postscript. Light uniform toning covering each page, scattered wrinkles and light creasing, areas of faint staining, a staple hole to Lovell’s letter with “returned” written at the top of the page, and Anders’ signature somewhat faded, otherwise overall very good to fine condition. Accompanied by Lovell’s original mailing envelope and a letter of authenticity signed by Gardner’s widow. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
