Condizione: Fine. Darien, Connecticut, June 2, 1966., 1966. Fine. - Over 230 words typed on 10-7/8 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide watermarked paper. Writing to the founder of the Oram Group, Harold L. Oram, who raised funds for humanitarian and conservation groups, the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh writes with his suggestions for the World Wildlife Fund's membership drive and letter. "Before I send out another 'conservation' letter, I would like to have a definite understanding of how replies are to be acknowledged by WWF." "In regard to the brochure enclosed with letters such as this, I wonder if it should contain some sort of WWF membership application -- the five-dollar type of thing." He goes on to suggest the possibility that "Membership involves an automatic payment each year, whereas the present contribution form (brochure I am looking at enclosed) casts the contributor loose after his check is sent, and requires new bait for a new bite in another year." He concludes by saying that while he likes the present brochure, he suggests emphasizing the blue whale in the next one. Signed "Charles". Folded for mailing with a minor crease to the top left corner, else fine. The American aviator, military officer and writer Charles Augustus Lindbergh (1902-1974) flew his aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, on the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris on May 20 & 21, 1927. In doing so, Lindbergh sent a new flight distance world record and initiated a new era of air transportation. In later life, he became heavily involved in humanitarian and conservation movements and campaigned to protect endangered species and as well as protecting the way of life for native tribes in the Philippines and Africa. Lindbergh's essays introduced millions to the conservation cause. Harold L. Oram (1907-1990) was the founder and president of the Oram Group, a fund raising organization for humanitarian, conservation and environmental causes. Oram started his career in 1939 by aiding the relief efforts for for Spanish Loyalists battling the Falangists led by Francisco Franco. Oram raised money for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The World Population Emergency Campaign (which merged with Planned Parenthood), The Natural Resources Council, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), among others.…
