Fascinating TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Peace Corps letterhead, July 16, 1971. Letter to Grant Treaster, Jr., in part: “I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts in entering the Peace Corps’ Tenth Anniversary Poster Contest. The response from the nation was overwhelming. Well over 1,500 posters were entered in the contest, with the majority of them being of very high quality. And I am pleased to advise you that from among that number, the judges selected your poster as one of the sixty finalists. Although there is no monetary prize for this distinction, I would like to congratulate you on your achievement.” In fine condition, with slight show-through from adhesive remnants to reverse. Accompanied by a newspaper clipping showing Treaster’s poster submission. Armstrong served as Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Peace Corps from 1971-1973.
