French engineer and aviator (1872–1936) who made the first crossing of a large body of water in a heavier-than-air craft when he flew across the English Channel in 1909. ALS in French, signed “Louis,” one page, 7.75 x 10, January 30, 1918. Bleriot writes “My darling Liette.” In full: (translated) “Loulou will be out tomorrow all day; I’ll keep him with me. The trials of the four engines are suspended because one of the engines broke down and needs to be replaced. On Sunday, Marguerite will bring you two turkeys and a couple of geese from Blue. Tomorrow I am to see the Minister, Loucheur, to settle a number of issues still unresolved. I hope he’ll be able to iron out the difficulties I’m dealing with at the moment. Nothing new. Everything’s just about alright. Tonight I’m having dinner at ‘La Courtin’s.’ Mrs. Courtin has seen a reputed doctor; the very one we were supposed to go see on the Rue de Rennes but he was sick; he was recommended by Mrs. Orsat. He found her well and everything is just fine at the moment with ‘La Courtin.’” Central horizontal and vertical folds passing through his text and signature, horizontal fold at the top edge, and light wrinkling, otherwise fine condition.
