TLS signed “S. P. Langley,” two pages, 4.5 x 7, Smithsonian Institution letterhead, May 5, 1904. Letter to Mr. Carpenter. In part, “I have drawn up a statement of the experiments with the aerodrome and of the causes of its failure to fly, which the public so little understands, but I do not wish my language to be used, and desire that you may consider it only as supplying facts which you will embody in your own.” Both pages are affixed to a 12 x 9.75 scrapbook page along with a small photo, and a news headline and illustration. Two ALSs from Frank R. Stockton are affixed to the reverse. In very good condition, with some feathering and spreading to signature as well as scattered light toning.
