About This Item
DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL (1910-1997). Macapagal was President of the Philippines from 1961 to 1965. WILLIAM McCORMICK BLAIR, JR. (1916-2015). Blair was U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and the Philippines. LS. 1pg. September 29, 1967. 92 Cambridge Circle, Makati, Rizal, Philippines. A letter signed “Diosdado Macapagal” as former President of the Philippines and written on his letterhead in another hand. As William Blair prepared to leave his post as U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, Macapagal sent him this warm letter thanking him for his stay. “Dear Ambassador Blair: Ms. Macapagal and I thank you beyond words can express for having us at The delightful dinner at The Embassy the other night. It was particularly memorable for us since it was on the eve of my birthday. When you end your unprecedentedly long tour of duty in the Philippines, you are entitled to the satisfaction that you not only accomplished well – as well as the most successful of your predecessors – the mission of riveting Philippine-American friendship, understanding and mutual collaboration but that you have blazed a trail of prudent forthrightness which will do good to both people now and in the years to come. Mrs. Macapagal and I agree that, in addition, you and Mrs. Blair will have left an imprint of charm and elegance which made your service in our country a privilege for our people. We will follow with keen interest your activities henceforth with a constant wish that you shall meet with continued success which you both so eminently deserve. Thank you again, Sincerely yours, Diosdado Macapagal”. In very good condition, with a very small tear in the upper edge.
