Eddie Rickenbacker”; and a fountain pen signature on an off-white 4 x 1.5 slip clipped from the closing of a letter. In very good to fine condition, with a faint paperclip impression to the top left corner of the letter, along with two sets of binder holes along the left edge; light toning, a faded letter in pencil, surface impressions, a postal cancellation mark, and a punch hole to the right edge of the postcard; and a few trivial spots of foxing to the signature.
