TLS - Typed Letter Signed
American explorer (1856–1920) best known for his claim as the first man to reach the North Pole; whether his expedition actually reached the target destination remains a long-argued point of history. TLS signed “Peary,” one page, 6.5 x 7, Eagle Island letterhead, June 13, 1912. Letter to Operti. In part: “I…note what you say in regard to the material for the late Travel Exhibition coming on to me eventually. In regard to the other proposition, I must ask you to try and give me some kind of an impromptu estimate. I do not expect anything but an approximation, but I do want to know whether the preparation of a display such as I indicated to you, would cost one thousand or five thousand or twenty five thousand or fifty thousand, and I am sure you can give me that offhand.” Peary has also crossed out one word in the following paragraph, writing “immediate” in the left edge. Double matted, with a portrait of Peary, to an overall size of 14 x 11. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few wrinkles, and a bit of trivial spreading to beginning of signature, otherwise fine condition.
