ALS signed “Charles A. Lindbergh,” one page, 5.25 x 7.25, personal letterhead, April 23, 1935. Letter to British author, Harold Nicolson, concerning some errors Nicolson made in a book describing Lindbergh’s trip to Mexico in the Spirit of St. Louis. In full: “I hope you will excuse my taking the liberty of making a few notations in the pages of your book dealing with my flight to Mexico in the Spirit of St. Louis. They are in regard only to facts of which I have personal and definite knowledge.” Double suede matted and framed with a photo of Lindbergh posing in front of the Spirit of St. Louis to an overall size of 18 x 14. In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, passing through a single letter of signature, and a bit of trivial toning. In 1927, Lindbergh was invited by Dwight Morrow, the new American Ambassador to Mexico, to do a goodwill tour. Morrow and Lindbergh liked each other from the start and became friends throughout the tour. On December 21st, 1927, Anne Morrow, Dwight's daughter, arrived in Mexico to spend Christmas with her family. Anne was introduced to Charles at the US Embassy in Mexico City, and in a little more than a year, Anne and Charles Lindbergh would be engaged and soon after, married.
