WALTER WELLMAN
Journalist and explorer Walter Wellman wrote this letter from Washington, D. C., asking about a letter that he was to receive from the recipient.
Autograph letter signed "Walter Wellman". 1 page, 7¾x8¼. Washington, D. C., dated "March 3". In full: "Dear Mr. Seymour: Fear I did not prove sufficiently appreciative of your past and proposed kindnesses to me. But if you only knew how I value your friendship - a friendship like yours at a time when one needs friends. Did Mr. Scott write you about sending me a letter to use on the other side? He told me he would. Something of the sort may be of help to me; though I know it is not to place the Herald under any financial obligations. Per-haps you can get around that and give me something useful. I sure you will if you can. May the good Lord be kind to you and yours - Sincerely your friend". Wellman (1858-1934, born in Mentor, Ohio) was a journalist, explorer and early aviation pioneer. He carried out five expeditions to the North Pole, three of them attempted flights in dirigibles (two in 1907, one in 1909). He also tried to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in an airship in 1910. This attempt was a failure, but it did break existing world records for time and distance sailing by airship: 1,008 miles in 72 hours. Lightly toned and creased. Folded once horizontally and twice vertically. Otherwise in fine condition.
