TLS signed “E. P. Hillary,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, Himalayan Trust letterhead, postmarked September 24, 1997. Letter to Ellen Musgrave, in part: "I am now 78 years old and it is more than 44 years since I climbed Mt. Everest with Sherpa Tenzing. I well remember our battles with crevasses and avalanches and the great feeling of satisfaction when we finally reached the summit. I still live an active and energetic life although it is a little different from those days on Everest. For four or five months each year I travel around the world giving lectures and raising financial support for the 27 schools and many medicinal facilities I have helped establish in Nepal. I spend April of each year in the Himalayas talking about projects with my Sherpa friends in their remote mountain villages. Although I have a great affection for Nepal, I was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and it is still my home and I always enjoy returning." In fine condition, with light creasing to the left side. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
