ALS signed “Charles A. Lindbergh,” two pages on separate leaves, 6 x 8, Illiec letterhead, July 11, 1938. Letter to "Sir Francis," in part: "This is a very late answer to your letter and invitation (it seems to me that I am always writing that). Anne and I left England the first week in June and have been in Brittany ever since, except for a short trip to Paris which I made. I wish that we could have accepted your invitation to go to Cambridge but it was not possible at the time. Thank you very much for asking us." In fine condition.
In March 1938, exasperated by the relentless attention from the public that followed the kidnapping and death of his child, Lindbergh purchased Ile Illiec off the coast of Port-Blanc, Brittany, France; he lived there only until December of that year, returning to the United States when war began to threaten all of Europe.
