Typed letter signed “Buzz Aldrin”, one page, 6.5 x 7.75, NASA letterhead, November 16, 1970. Letter to Disneyland representative Kathy Birk, in full:
Thank you very much for the courtesies shown me and my group during the recent visit to Disneyland of Soviet Cosmonauts Nikolayev and Sevastyanov. It's not very often one finds a hostess who not only is efficient and charming but speaks Russian with such ease.
You helped make our visit there a most informative and pleasant one. Disneyland can't miss with such a lovely and competent ambassadress.
In fine condition, with light toning and trimmed edges. Accompanied by a modern photo of Aldrin, Nikolayev, and Sevastyanov - and Mickey Mouse - at Disneyland.
Cosmonauts Andriyan Nikolayev and Vitaly Sevastyanov broke the five-year-old space endurance record held by Gemini 7, with their nearly 18-day flight during the Soyuz 9 mission, which launched on June 1st and landed on June 19, 1970. Four months after their return to Earth, Nikolayev and Sevastyanov spent 10 days on a goodwill tour of the United States, with Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin serving as their guide. The tour included stops in New York, Washington, D.C., Huntsville, Alabama, Houston, Texas, Pasadena, California, and Anaheim, where they visited Disneyland and received Mickey Mouse watches from the character himself, and took a simulated trip to the Moon.
