Condition: Fine. February 1, 1971., 1971. Fine. - Over 35 words typed on his 1-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide personal stationery. The historian John Toland writes to his friend Jean Dalrymple that he and his family are leaving in a couple of days: "We would love to have lunch with you. But it will have to wait awhile.
