Wallace, Henry A (1888-1965). 33rd Vice President of the United States, 1941-1945, under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Typed Letter Signed ("H A Wallace"). As Vice President. One page, quarto, Washington D.C. (erroneously dated October) November 15, 1944. On Office Of The Vice President letterhead. To Arthur H. Heller. Mailing folds and penciled correction. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope with printed frank from the Office of the Vice President, and Mr. Heller's original request. In fine condition.
Here Wallace addresses a request to speak at the Bronx High School of Science commencement. Sadly, Arthur Heller's eloquent and enthusiastic plea for the Vice President's time was unsuccessful. Wallace's reply is friendly, yet firm: "That was a mighty fine letter you wrote me on October 20, -- so fine, in fact, that you make it difficult for me to regret. However, due to my very indefinite plans during the next few months it will be impossible for me to be with you in January."
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
