TLS - Typed Letter Signed
Pulitzer Prize–winning American journalist (1900–1945), best known for his wartime columns about ordinary GIs, who was killed during the Okinawa Campaign. TLS signed “Ernie,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Washington Daily News letterhead, September 7, 1931. Pyle writes, in full: “Here is some good news for you and Jim, as well as me too. I just received a letter from C. B. Allen, saying that he had just gotten back from his vacation and obtained the information I sent him on the autogiro crackups. He said that he thought they would not do anything further about the matter—meaning apparently that they weren’t going to run the story they contemplated. I don’t know whether you or Jim have seen him in the meantime or not. He said he was going to recommend an editorial to the general effect that most commercial aurogiros [sic] were now in the hands of persons exploiting them as circus craft, and that as soon as they got into the hands of people who were seriously looking for an extra-safe flying machine, the crackups would probably decrease. I am glad the thing has finally turned out as it has. Did you get my letter, in response to your write, giving the list of crackups?” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, moderate toning, some tears along the edges, a small area of paper loss towards the top right corner, and a staple and staple mark to the same corner, with rust from the staple having bled to form a circular halo around the area.
