Description

?I am sorry the first news to reach you of the many talks I have made on the autogiro apparently was unpleasant.?

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 9, 1932. Letter to Geoffrey Childs, president of the Autogiro Company of America. In part, 'I am sorry the first news to reach you of the many talks I have made on the autogiro apparently was unpleasant...this fact was brought to my notice forcibly by the last copy of the News. In it the periodicals are listed which have featured the autogiro. Cosmopolitan (circulation 1,500,000) was not mentioned. Yet I had a three thousand word article on the autogiro published during 1931.' In fine condition, with staple hole to top left corner and light toning, a bit heavier at edges. COA John Reznikoff/University Archives and RRAuction COA.
