Description

Richard E. Byrd

TLS signed “R. E. Byrd,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, March 8, 1928. Letter concerning the sale of a plane. In part: “Confidentially, I will let you have my Fokker plane for what it cost me. I will even be willing to suffer a small loss to sell it. Of course there is nothing wrong with the plane. It is simply a matter of finances. The plane is especially built for long distance work…The plane without the engines cost me around $39,000.” In very good condition, with scattered creasing and wrinkling, scattered toning, a bit lightly affecting signature, and an office stamp to top left. Accompanied by two other letters and a telegram relating to the sale of the plane. RRAuction COA.
