I admire you and Mr. Bergen greatly; and if time permitted, would consider it a privilege to be connected with you in a broadcast. You will bear from me in due course. With kindest regards to you both, Sincerely,". Postscripted: "P.S. Where will you be when you are in New York?" Lightly toned, soiled and creased. Folded twice and unfolded.

Lightly toned and creased. Folded twice and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition. Byrd (1888-1957, born in Winchester, Virginia) made the first of his four expeditions to Antarctica between 1928 and 1930, during which time he established the "Little America" base and became the first man to fly over both the North and South Poles. Subsequent expeditions were made between 1933 and 1935 and between 1939 and 1941. Byrd detailed his adventures in books and on the lecture circuit following his returns to the U.S. Proceeds from his books and talks were used to finance additional expeditions, which continued through 1956. Byrd, who discovered Marie Byrd Land and the Edsel Ford Mountains, was given the honorary title, "Mayor of Antarctica".
