Byrd's Chief Engineer Mulroy Archive of Letters
<B>Byrd's Chief Engineer Thomas B. Mulroy Archive of Personal Correspondence</B></I> consisting of several dozen letters, notices, and bulletins dating from 1931-1933. Includes four Typed Letters Signed of Richard E. Byrd all featuring different forms of his signature, "<I>Dick Byrd</B></I>", "<I>R E Byrd</B></I>", "<I>Byrd</B></I>", and "<I>REB</B></I>". Many of the letters are on the letterhead of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition II; Mulroy was acting on their behalf in obtaining donated supplies and services for the second Antarctic mission. These letters offer a fascinating look into the inner workings of Byrd's organization as they prepared to make another of their non-government sponsored expeditions. Generally fine condition.
