Automotive mogul (1875–1940) who founded the Chrysler Corporation. TLS signed “Dad,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, October 6, 1924. Chrysler writes to his son Walter at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, in part: “I returned from Detroit Saturday morning and found your fine letter. I do not want you to think that you have to answer my letters right away or answer all of them for I know you are busy with your studies and it takes a lot of your time…I had a cablegram from your Mother stating they arrived safely and had a pleasant trip. I presume by this time they are used to Paris again and having a good time….I am awfully glad you have ordered your suit and hope that you will like it. I will put the football game on my calendar for November 14th and will see if it is possible for us to get down there, and will try not to forget that parents are allowed on week-ends and will come down at the first opportunity. I know that you are digging right in and going to make good at Hotchkiss one hundred percent. Work hard and play whenever you get an opportunity.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Written just seven months before he founded the Chrysler company on June 6, 1925, Walter had introduced the first of the Chrysler line—the 70, a 6-cylinder advanced car at an affordable cost—in January of 1924.
