ALS signed “C. W. Nimitz,” one page both sides, 8 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 17, 1965. Letter to "Bill," thanking him for a copy of the Honolulu Star Bulletin and incorporating his own name several times throughout the text of the letter. In part: "Your very kind remarks about me reinforces my decision to refrain from writing memoirs—which would probably be very bad indeed. I will be grateful if you will send copies to the (a) Chester W. Nimitz Elementary School in Honolulu, (b) Chester W. Nimitz [Elementary School in] Sunnyvale, California, (c) Chester W. Nimitz Junior High School in San Antonio, Texas, and (d) Chester W. Nimitz Junior High School, Tulsa, Okla. Also—if you will send copies to each of my children as follows: (e) R. Adm. C. W. Nimitz, Jr., USN…(f) Mrs. James T. Lay…(g) Miss Nancy Nimitz…(h) Sister M. Aquinas…I am sure Eller would like several copies." In fine condition, with some light creasing to the top edge.
