The Frank Buchman signed letter is from April 23, 1953. The letter was addressed to Helen (Mrs. Ripley Hitchcock). The letter reads:

“Dear Helen,

Thank you for your charming Eastercard which reached me on my way to Kashmir. I was very grateful for the enclosure which means much.

I am sure you have heard from Emily that we are now in this wonderful part of the world. It is a great relief aiter the heat of Calcutta, and we are having perfect weather.

Tomorrow night we begin "Jotham Valley" and we shall have crowded houses as the interest is very great.

Yesterday we had a broadcast on the Kashmir station which reaches to the Middle East, and all the countries to the north of us and two thousand miles to the south. This is a key spot.

We have been very much heartened by the splendid news from Washington, and today we are thinking of "The Hindu" supplement being distributed at the Editors' and Publishers!

Convention in New York, and the copies going all across the country.

With every good wish,

Yours very sincerely,

Frank”

On The Tail Of A Comet: The Life of Frank Buchman by Garth Lean

This is the hardcover printing of this book with the dust jacket.

This definitive biography of Frank Buchman starts with a small-town American who set out "to remake the world" and in the attempt affected the moral and spiritual condition of thousands of people at every level of society throughout the world. From the rise of black nationalist independence movements in Africa to the civil rights hotbed in the U.S., in the lives of great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Konrad Adenauer, and Harry Truman -- Buchman's remarkable influence kept turning up. Buchman was called "a man of genius" and an "apostle to the twentieth century" by Henry van Dusen in the "Atlantic Monthly." He was founder of the Oxford Group and Moral Re-Armament, and the man whose ideas provided the impetus behind many change-oriented initiatives such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Buchman's biographer, Garth Lean, was a British journalist and prolific author. He held a masters degree in jurisprudence from Oxford University, and was a lifelong student of history. Among his books is "God's Politician," a biographical study of William Wilberforce.
