Original April 1954 Letter of Acceptance from MIT

Cambridge, MA: Office of Admissions, MIT, 1954. Letters. Very Good +. A framed April 29, 1954 1 pg. TLS (typed letter signed), addressed to John Desmond, a Senior at the Hotchkiss School in Lakevile, Ct., informing him that he's been accepted to MIT for enrollment in the Freshman class the upcoming school year. The 8 1/2" x 11" letter is of course on official Office of Admission (MIT) stationary and is clean and bright --with no smudging of any kind-- and signed by B. Alden Thresher, the Director of Admissions. The letter had once been folded vertically into thirds and horizontally into halves, leaving some creasing, but still very presentable and appealing. Vintage black wooden frame nicely highlights this charming piece of Americana. (Inventory #: 23957)
