"I WAS DELAYED...BY POOR FLYING WEATHER"
A gracious letter of appreciation to a lady who had assisted the aviatrix when stranded by bad weather in Georgia on a cross-country flight: "I am remiss in not answering your friendly note which followed me to Macon [the next leg of her flight]....[I] only hope the next time we find ourselves together I may be free of any responsibility toward a clock. I was delayed in my return by poor flying weather out of Atlanta but otherwise the trip home was very eventful. I have been buried with trying to finish a book...and have just about succeeded in hanging enough words together to make two dollars and fifty cents worth....I have asked my secretary to send you a copy of the Atlantic flight book [The Fun of It, 1932]...May it amuse you...." Full autograph letters signed by Earhart are very uncommon.
