Ed White was an American astronaut best known for being the first American to walk in space during the Gemini IV mission in June 1965. He was also selected as the senior pilot for the Apollo 1 mission. Apollo 1 was supposed to make a low orbit of the Earth, but never happened due to an accidental fire during a launch rehearsal test that destroyed the module and took the lives of all three astronauts on board. Ed White was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor posthumously in 1997. His spirit lives on as one of the great space pioneers.

In the short time that I was at the track I really felt I learned a lot about the ‘Big Race’. Please excuse my tardiness in writing, but we have really been on the go getting Apollo 1 ready to fly. Also, please excuse our rapid departure after the race, but we had an appointment in Mass. and were a little concerned about being able to get up to Bunker Hill. I am enclosing some pictures that I thought you might enjoy. We should be moving our spacecraft to the Cape later in the summer for final check out- see you then. Thanks again- Ed”. 2pp. letter measures 6.25″ x 7″, with a staple at top left. one fold and light wear. Near fine condition.
