Description

Early letter from the Friendship 7 pilot

TLS signed “J. H. Glenn, Jr.,” one page, 8 x 10.5, January 28, 1965. Letter to Rodolfo A. Olano, in full: "Thank you very much for your kind letter. I certainly appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness in trying to help me recover from my recent medical difficulty. Plain time, however, is the only treatment that was effective in my case since my difficulty came just from a blow on the head and just as the doctors predicted, gradual recovery was effected over several months. My problem was not related to meniere's syndrome or to any of the allergies or sickness causing balance problems. I am very happy to be able to say that I have effected a full recovery including a return to full military flight status and I am very thankful this is the case." In fine condition, with scattered light creasing. Accompanied by the original NASA mailing envelope.
