Pristine TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 24, 1937. Letter to a patron. In full: “It was very kind of you to send the two old maps as a gift from you and your sister. I am pleased to receive these maps and appreciate the opportunity given me to preserve them in The Edison Institute Museum.” In fine condition. Ford founded the Edison Institute in Detroit in 1929, with the aim of collecting American history ‘as written into things their hands made and used.’ Today, the museum is commonly known as ‘The Henry Ford,’ and contains exhibits including John F. Kennedy's presidential limousine and Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theatre. An excellent letter from the early days of one of America’s most interesting museums.
