TLS, signed “R. E. Byrd,” one page, 7.5 x 8.25, United States Antarctic Expedition, July 18, 1955. Letter to John W. Nicklin, in full: “I hope you will forgive me for the delay in replying to your letter of last November. At the time it arrived, our projected Expedition had not yet received official confirmation, and your letter was, therefore, filed for attention at a later date, when our project would have become a reality. Initially, about all I can say is that your proposal merits looking into, and that I will take the matter up with several of the competent people. My thanks for your suggestion and my very best wishes.” Double-matted with a nameplate and a photo with a facsimile signature to an overall size of 21 x 17. In fine condition.
