TLS signed “Dad,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, November 7, 1924. Chrysler writes to his son Walter at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, in part: “I have had a letter from Mr. Buell dated November 5th in which he states he will excuse you from school Tuesday afternoon…You are to return on the 8:50 train Thursday morning, December 4th. However, he states, it will involve the loss of recitations for two days for you and shall urge you to make up the work as soon as possible before you leave school. I know you appreciate that you are facing a great deal of hard work at Hotchkiss to maintain your position in your class, and absence on occasions like this, naturally, make it necessary for you to put forth unusual efforts so that your studies will not suffer. I know you realize this, Walter, and I am glad to know that Mr. Buell has been kind enough to let you off.” Near the last line, Chrysler has added several words in his own hand about his son ordering clothes. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Written just months before he founded the Chrysler company on June 6, 1925, this letter represents a fine example of the auto magnate’s work ethic. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
