Description

Bell remains noncommittal to his former personal secretary as he plans a trip through Canada

TLS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, black-bordered Twin Oaks letterhead, April 18, 1910. Letter to Arthur McCurdy, Bell’s former private secretary. In part: “Don’t rely upon anything more than this. If we can manage to get to British Columbia in time to spend a day or two with you we shall do so, but it would never do for us to make any engagements, and it would not be right to you to have you make arrangements for social functions and things of that sort. I should be glad to have the opportunity of paying my respects to the Governor, but cannot arrange for any social functions.” In fine condition, with a crease to top right corner tips, and a small chip to edge of second page. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
