Description

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, January 12, 1961. Letter to Dr. Wendell M. Patton, president of High Point College in North Carolina. In part: "I have your kind letter of January 2 in behalf of your Board of Trustees inviting me to serve on the Board of Leadership Advisors representing science. This is very kind of you, and I want you to know that I appreciate it very much. However, since my first responsibility is to devote my time to our work here at Marshall Space Flight Center, I am forced not to accept any more such outside appointments." A carbon copy of the letter is stapled to the upper left corner. In fine condition, with three binder dings to the left edge and a somewhat musty odor.
