CHARLES A. LINDBERGH. TLS: "Charles A. Lindbergh", 1p, 8½x11. Switzerland, 1967 September 1. To
Warner Gilmore, Djakarta, Indonesia. Written from his wife's chalet in
Switzerland. In part: "I am fascinated with the country
[Indonesia] and its peoples, and the problems they face in our fluxing
modern world. The impingement of West on East and East on west is tremendously
interesting to me, and I do not know southeastern Asia at all well. Whenever the
opportunity arises, I would like to spend some weeks living and driving around
Java, and possibly around some of the other islands. As you know, I don't
require entertainment. I am primarily interested in a people's routine ways of
life-more in the ordinary than in the spectacular, for I find the ordinary of
far greater basic significance. To observe the ordinary effectively, you must
live in an ordinary way yourself. (You don't get to know soldiers if you carry
stars on your shoulders when you meet them.) Please convey my best wishes to my
friend Sri Budoyo, and to the Sultan if the opportunity arises. Tell them I am
keeping in contact with the Udjung Kulon expeditions, and with other
developments in fields both of wild life and of aviation--and watching all news from Indonesia...."
Lightly creased. Folds, light vertical fold touches the "le" in Charles. Fine
condition.
