Original autograph letter (ALS) signed by Gardiner Greene Hubbard, founder and first president of the National Geographic Society, and early supported of Alexander Graham Bell's work, becoming both Bell's father-in-law and the first president of Bell Telephone. On letterhead of the Special Commission for Railway Mail Transportation. Folded and worn, as per scans, but a nice piece of the history of American invention, as well as the history of US Mail, since he is discussing the establishment of special rates for mail transported by train. | |
