Description

Heartfelt letter to the president of Pan Am

ALS signed “Charles (A. Lindbergh),” two pages, 8.5 x 11, May 3, 1969. Letter to Pan American World Airways President Harold E. Gray. In part: "I have been wanting to write you ever since the ALPA meeting; but the days have been crammed…and at night I've been too sleepy to either read or write. I have been wanting to tell you how deeply I appreciate your flying to Washington to be present when the honorary membership was presented to me. I had no idea that you were coming, and still feel a little embarrassed at having added one more obligation to the heavy load you are now carrying. It was certainly a great gesture of friendship—one I shall never forget. And my ears still tingle when I think of the things you said about me at the dinner. I hope I can live up to them. Harold, I'll be seeing you at the Stockholder and Director meetings in Los Angeles before you get this letter; but I doubt that I can tell you in words as well as I can in writing how much your coming to the ALPA presentation meant to me." In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner, and light creasing and toning along the edges.
