TLS, one page, 7.25 x 5.5, personal letterhead, December 14, 1938. Wright responds to an invitation by Albert T. Bell of Atlantic City, New Jersey. In full: “I thank you for your letter of December 10th. The Dayton Chamber of Commerce has arranged a local celebration on the anniversary of our first flight which will keep me in Dayton on the seventeenth of December.” Block of uniform toning covering more than half the page affecting the first half of “Orville” and two office stampings, otherwise fine condition. Wright's signature remains clear and dark. The “local celebration” refers to the 35th anniversary of the first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, December 17, 1903.
