Son of Harley-Davidson cofounder William A. Davidson (1905-1993) who himself later assumed the presidency of the famed motorcycle manufacturer. TLS signed “Wm. H. Davidson,” one page, 8.25 x 11, Harley-Davidson Motor Co. letterhead, September 27, 1935. Letter to Gene Walters, in part: "You sent us a card telling us that you have been in touch with Chief Roy Williams of the Sanford Police Department. You stated that the Chief is very much interested in a motorcycle radio in view of the fact that they are planning to install an RCA transmitter at a cost of $1440.00. Judging from this price quotation, we are inclined to believe that this transmitter is of the ultra-high frequency type…As we cannot supply receivers for ultra-high frequency reception at this time, we suggest you check into the transmitter to be installed in Sanford and find out exactly what type it will be. There is no use in our sending radio information to Chief Williams and then find later that we cannot furnish the type set needed. In fact, this would probably do more harm than good." In fine condition, with a hint of subtle toning to the perimeter.
