Signed letter from Hubert H. Humphrey to Nance P. Biersma (Miss Minnesota).

Letter says, Thanks so very much for your kind telegram of congratulations. Yes, the competition in Atlantic City can be very trying,but we Minnesotas uphold our great state.

I hope that you have had wonderful experiences in these three years since being "Miss Minnesota" and that we will see one another again.

I had hoped to write to you earlier. Deluges of mail have been waiting me, however, and I have been out almost continuously on the campaign trail

        Again, thanks so very much.

                                                     Sincerely,

                                                       SIGNED

                                          Hubert H.Humphrey
