Description

Extremely early Lindbergh letter, written at age 12

ALS signed “Charles,” one page on a 5.25 x 3.25 postcard depicting the battleship USS Illinois, Washington, DC, May 29, 1914. Letter written to his friend, Alick Johnson. In full: “Hope to be with you soon now it was 95 in the shade here yesterday.” In very good condition, with unobtrusive creases and light overall soiling. Lindbergh’s father served as one of Minnesota’s congressmen from 1907 to 1917, leading Charles to split time between Little Falls, Minnesota, and Washington, DC. It was in Washington two years earlier that Lindbergh had seen his first airplane, sparking his interest in aviation and his ambition to fly. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
