TLS signed "E. P. Hillary," one page, 8.25 x 11, Himalayan Trust letterhead, February 20, 1981. Letter to H. Ryder, in part: "It certainly gives a considerable sense of satisfaction to make the first ascent of a mountain-however easy or difficult it may be. In general I have not had any great urge to attempt Everest again although in August of this year I will be travelling through China and Tibet with the American Everest Expedition to make the first attempt on the unclimbed east face of the mountain. I do not expect to go above 19,000 ft but it will be a most interesting experience." In fine condition. Excellent content from the Everest ascender.
