TLS, one page, 8.5 x 10.75, Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission letterhead, October 24, 1940. Letter to Irving Jewell, in part: "I remember very well your camera work on the mountain. I have been out of town, or away, or other engagements prevented me from accepting your very kind invitation. Sometime you may be able to show me your pictures privately." Interestingly, the stationery is imprinted on the reverse with an image of the construction of Lincoln's face on Mount Rushmore. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
