TLS signed “C. A. Lindbergh,” one page, 8 x 10, Long Barn, Weald letterhead, September 28, 1937. Letter to Timothy Burns. In full: “Thank you very much for sending the extra set of photographs for my wife. I am returning one set with this letter. The face of the man in the boat with Mrs. Burns is rather indistinct but I believe it is Kusterer who, as you may remember, went in advance of our tour to make the necessary arrangements in regard to landing, programme, etc. Kusterer is the man in the lower right hand corner of the other picture of the out-board motorboat.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds, a few other creases and wrinkles, and scattered spotting, mostly to the blank areas. Milburn Kusterer, representing the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics, had handled all the details of Lindbergh’s three-month tour of the United States after his epic transatlantic flight to Paris. Accompanying this letter are 11 x 8.5 reproductions of three of the 13.75 x 10.75 photographs of Lindbergh returned by the aviator to Burns with this letter. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
