ALS signed “C. A. Lindbergh,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.75 x 7.5, personal letterhead, November 27, 1932. Letter to C. P. Ryman of Eastern Air Transport. In part: “I want to thank you for the cooperation Dr. Wychoff has received from Eastern Air Transport in getting his specimens up from Miami. He tells me that they arrive in excellent condition. I believe that it is of definite advantage to the airlines whenever they can render a service of this kind, which is apparently not possible in any other way. I understand that the research Dr. Wychoff is carrying on necessitates that his material arrive in considerably less time than the train takes from Miami.” Intersecting folds (one tiny edge separation at horizontal fold) and soiling to the top, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Lindbergh’s hand. Lindbergh was an airmail pioneer and early advocate, and in this unusual letter he offers his opinion of its main advantage—speed of delivery. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
