[Letter] 1959 April 27, Washington [to] Francis E. Walter, Washington, D.C. / Chris[tian A. Herter].

The letter is typed on Secretary of State letterhead. See also Herter's biography and a guide to research collections of his papers (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=H000548), as well as Walter's (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=W000108).

Herter thanks Walter for his "very kind words" about Herter's nomination [probably as Secretary of State] which he read in the _Congressional Record_ . Herter states that Foster will also be glad to read Walter's remarks. Before assuming the duties of the office of the Secretary of State (1959-1961), Herter filled diplomatic posts in Belgium and Germany, taught at Harvard, served in Congress from 1943 to 1953, and was Governor of Massachusetts from 1953-1957.
