I have enclosed the autographed picture you requested and hope it is satisfactory. Thank you for your good wishes and my warmest personal regards to you”; and the referenced photograph, an official glossy 8 x 10 NASA photo of Glenn in a formal up-close pose, signed and inscribed in black ink, “Best regards to Arthur Bell — John H. Glenn, Jr., Mercury Astronaut.” In overall very good to fine condition, with light rippling to the photo.
