TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Hearst’s International combined with Cosmopolitan letterhead, September 5, 1929. Letter to Mrs. Edward Curtis. In full: “It was kind of you to take me in and send me forth so early in the morning, as you did. I am extremely sorry that I couldn’t be at Mr. Curtis’ luncheon yesterday, but I hope with Eddie Rickenbacker et al, my absence was not noticed.

I reached Bethlehem in good time, though as I flew over Wilkes Barre the motor began to sputter and I had a few unhappy moments.

Please believe I am not often remiss in keeping engagements and I hope I can make up for my shortcomings sometime.”

Under her signature, Earhart adds a handwritten postscript which reads: “I think I left some clothes at your house. If so, will you send them to me at this office?”

In fine condition, with some scattered creases and wrinkles, as well as a bit of scattered light foxing. Excellent aviation association with Earhart’s light-hearted reference to her near catastrophe.
