Buzz Aldrin Autograph Note Signed with Political Content, on Research and Engineering Consultants Inc. Stationery,
Description
Buzz Aldrin Autograph Note Signed with Political Content, on Research and Engineering Consultants Inc. Stationery, circa 1970s. One page, 6" x 9" notepaper, no place, no date. In the handwritten note, Aldrin thanks a political associate named Ray for their work together, regrets missing an inauguration event, and refers to campaign-related financial matters. One flattened fold, excellent. As follows, in full:"Dear Ray
"It was a real pleasure working with you. Sorry we couldn't join you at the inauguration, but at this time I just couldn't justify the expense.
"I saw Mamie the other day and she said she couldn't make it either. She is trying to straighten out the mess she got into with Ross which was quite a surprise to me.
"I trust she sent you the list of my campaigning expenses and there will be no problem funding the funds.
"Best wishes for the New Year
Yours, [signed] Buzz Aldrin"
An intriguing insight into Aldrin's post-NASA involvement in political consulting or campaigning during the 1970s, and his efforts to maintain a professional presence in the public and political spheres. Includes references to internal campaign difficulties and financial reimbursements.
