TLS signed “Neil Armstrong," "Buzz Aldrin," and "M. Colliins,” one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, June 23, 1969. Letter to Dayton's Advertising Department, in full: "We certainly enjoyed the news clipping of Snoopy which you recently sent us. Your enthusiasm is delightful and we trust your interest will continue as the Apollo Program progresses." In fine condition. The connection between the Apollo program and the Peanuts comic strip is well documented. The call signs for the Apollo 10 spacecraft were the names of characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, the semi-official mascots of the famed 'dress rehearsal' Apollo mission, and Peanuts creator Charles Schulz also drew some mission-related artwork for NASA. A decidedly rare letter written by the Apollo 11 crew less than a month before their historic lunar liftoff.
