Roncalli's endorsement is written on verso of a letter signed by Myron Charles Taylor, a United States diplomat. Taylor's typed letter was created 30 May 1952 on Hotel Ritz, Paris stationery. Taylor writes "With reference to our conversation of yesterday concerning a closer union of denominations in the cause of peace, my personal culmination of effort along that line is in the creation of Anabel Taylor Hall at Cornell University, which is a limited University of ten thousand students, and is the first example of interfaith cooperation that I am aware of in the sense of this activity. I would like you to familiarize yourself with it. The dedication of Anabel Taylor Hall will occur in October of this year..." Refers to a picture he sends (not included) portraying the exterior of Anabel Taylor Hall. Roncalli's endorsement is written in Italian.
