TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, High Flight Foundation letterhead, May 27, 1981. Letter to Ken Browne in Mesa, Arizona, in part: "My first flight assignment was in Yuma, and I grew to love the desert. I guess that is why I enjoyed the moon so much. I do keep in contact with my space colleagues. We were all together at the White House last Tuesday to honor the crew of Columbia. I am delighted with the apparent success of the shuttle. This new craft will greatly expand our use of space and reduce the cost for sailing on this ocean of space." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, a pamphlet about the High Flight Foundation, and two modern prints of candid photos of Irwin with his book in 1974.
