TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, April 5, 1961. Letter to an admirer. In part: “I with I could oblige you by sending you some postage stamps of my design. Unhappily, there are none. The Greenland stamp of which you have heard was made for a mail service privately established in Umanak District, North-east Greenland. The German flyer, Udet, was stationed there in 1932 with a German moving picture company. For the convenience of residents in that District of Greenland, and for his own amusement, he became a mail carrier. I cut a stamp for him in a wood-block and hand printed maybe a dozen or two. These stamps, I am told, have brought quite a price on the stamp market. On my return from Greenland I had a small edition of them printed on a proper press. Some years ago a professional stamp collector bought a number of these on speculation, paying me I thought much more than they were worth. I agreed not to sell any of the remainder for less than he was offering them for—which was unconscionably high: $75 or thereabout as I recall it.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds, and a few mild surface creases.
