Former lab assistant to Thomas Edison (1879–1936) who, in 1911, made the first official airmail flight in the United States. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Santa Barbara Yacht Club letterhead, August 15, 1922. Letter to Curtis Freschel. In part: “Expect to cruise Maine, and northern U.S. next year, then south to Nassau for winter, then thru canal & up Calif. coast. Much interested in round-world cruise only boat too big for fun. One hundred feet better. Yes, I’m full up of ideas on boating. Just back from yacht regatta of our assn. Won a nice cup & two medals.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, and toning and chipping to the edges.
