Born Karol Józef Wojtyła. Pope from 1978 to 2005. He is widely known to Catholics as Saint John Paul the Great. Typed letter signed “+ Karol card. Wojtyla”. 1p., 8.25 x 11.75 inch. Krakow, 1975 October 4. On Metropolita Krakowski stationery. In Polish, in full: “Drogi Ksieze Janie! Otrzymalem teksty pytan i odpowiedzi w chwili wyjazdu na wizytacje. Pytania sa inteligentne, ale nazbyt 'ciekawe', ida za daleko. Odpowiedzi - z koniecznosci - dyplomatyczne, a wiec wymijajace z Polski nie sfinalizujemy tego. Mysle, ze jesli warto im 'dac wywiad', to juz podejmujac sprawy nieco gruntowniej. Moze zreszta sie myle. W kazdym razie bardzo dziekuje za propozycje i serdecznie pozdrawiam.” Translated: “Dear Prince Janie! I received questions and answers at the time of my visit. Questions are smart, but too 'interesting', too far. Responses - of necessity - diplomatic, and so evading from Poland we do not finalize this. I think if it is worth giving them an interview then they are already doing things a little bit more thoroughly. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway thank you very much for the suggestions and cordially.” Mailing folds, paper clip impression, else good condition.
