TLS, one page, 7 x 10.5, personal letterhead, June 15, 1927. Letter to C. F. Schory of the National Aeronautic Association. In full: “A trial for World’s record for load carrying, speed and endurance is to be made at Wright Field within the next few weeks. As there will be but one machine in the air, and as we have a stop-watch with a certificate less than a year old, I see no necessity of bringing Porter here. Is Luzern Custer’s name on the list of timers?” In fine condition, with two sets of staple holes to top left. On June 22, 1927, just a week after noting that a record setting flight would be made at Dayton’s Wilbur Wright Field, Orville Wright welcomed Charles A. Lindbergh to Dayton as the Lone Eagle landed at Wright Field, named in honor of his brother with whom he invented the airplane in 1903.
