Title: Typed Letter Signed by Senator Jacob K. Javits to the American Dancer & Choreographer Agnes de Mille.
Description: New York, October 17, 1977. 1977. - Over 40 words typed in blue on his 10-3/8 inch high by 7-1/8 wide creamy white stationery with his name and address embossed in blue at the top. Javits thanks the American choreographer and dancer Agnes de Mille for her note and looks forward "with great anticipation to 'Conversations About the Dance'. Signed "Jack" by the senator in black ink. Folded for mailing, there is a tiny black ink spot near the top right corner. Very good.
