TLS signed “Mayling Soong Chiang,” one black-bordered page, 8.25 x 10.75, July 4, 1975. Letter to George P. Viegelmann, in full: "I appreciate your kindness in sending me the message of sympathy. It is solacing to know there are so many people in the world who understand what the President contributed to the world. With gratitude I accept your tribute to the President saying so much about him in so few words. I have to agree with you that my country has been fortunate to have had him as leader in this period of history. While his passing was a loss to my country and to the cause of freedom, which is one and indivisible in the world, his spirit is kept alive in our crusade to defend freedom against inhuman and imperialistic Communism. The confidence and determination our people have shown are not only a source of my consolation but also a great encouragement to all Asian peoples free or in bondage. With renewed thanks; the delay in acknowledgment has been occasioned by my desire to write you personally." In fine condition. Chiang Kai-shek, the longtime leader of the Republic of China, passed away at the age of 87 on April 5, 1975, only three months before this letter was written.
