Dear Mr. Lang:

Your letter of September 12 has been referred to me.

With regard to the letters, I have considered these to be more of a personal nature and have never released any of them for any other use.

This would be an interesting area for someone to get into, but I don’t think now is the time, and I do not plan to release any of these in the near future.

Best regards.

Sincerely,

[signed] J H Glenn, Jr. Typed: John H. Glenn, Jr. Lt Colonel, USMC NASA Astronaut
