TLS signed “R. E. Byrd,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 26, 1938. Letter of thanks for a surprise birthday gift. In full: “I was greatly surprised last night when about twenty-five of my men came to my home and presented me with a beautiful wrist watch. I have nothing that I value more than this, coming as it does from you fellows who served me. I want to express to you my deep and enduring appreciation. Aside from the sentimental value as a memento from you fellows, this gift will be most useful as I was really much in need of a wrist watch.” In fine condition, with a few light creases and wrinkles. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Also accompanied by a form letter from Byrd’s birthday committee concerning a gift for their leader.
