Harvey Milk Oct. 1978

Harvey Milk letter to Michael Nolan

- Here’s a handwritten note from Harvey to me, just a month before he was assassinated. He would somehow find the time to advise me on my own political campaigns for Supervisor and Democratic County Committee. Happy Birthday Harvey. What a mensch!
