ALS signed “A. M. E.,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, postmarked November 22, 1924. Letter to friend and former beau Lloyd Royer, in full: "Our letters crossed again. If the offer for $1500 cash is real I think we'd better take it. You have the necessary papers. From the fact that the trucking season is due for its slack time soon and from what I gather of conditions in building in Calif. I should imagine this is a good time to sell. The last letter was mailed before I put the number in so you may not get it promptly. I am writing in much haste." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Earhart's hand, and a vintage photo of Royer standing next to Earhart's Moreland truck. In an effort to raise money to buy a plane built by Bert Kinner, Earhart went into the photography business with another young woman, Jean Brandreth. When this proved unprofitable, Earhart bought an old Moreland truck and hauled gravel for a construction company. Earhart remains rare in handwritten letters, with this being just the fourth we have ever offered.
