TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, United Nations Command letterhead, October 30, 1950. Letter to famous entertainer Bob Hope. In part: “Your recent visit to entertain the forces of this Command has demonstrated again your devotion to a great cause and your generous interest in the men and women who are fighting and working for it in this far corner of the world. You and your companions have given immeasurable pleasure and stimulation to everyone out here.” In fine condition, with light toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. An outstanding piece of correspondence that joins these iconic American figures so intertwined with the Korean War–era military—earlier in October, Marines landing at the east coast of North Korea in 1950 waded ashore, ready for battle, only to find that Hope and a USO show were already there.
