COBHAM
(Sir Alan J., 1894-1973, Aviator)
Fine Typed Letter Signed "Alan C" with autograph subscription and salutation, to Cyril Wood OBE
saying he is "distressed to learn about the trouble you have been having and the fact you were in hospital. A torn retina is a very serious matter. You may remember my dear wife suddenly developed a torn retina whilst we were in the West Indies. It is a pity you could not get to Moorfields Eye Hospital as Stallard is such a great surgeon. However, I believe that the secret of the success of an operation for a torn retina depends 50% on the patient. Dear Gladys was marvellous; she lay still without moving on her side for three weeks and after two operations she got her sight back completely ...", 1 side 8vo., Tarrant Rushton Airfield, nr Blandord, Dorset, 25th May

COBHAM
(Sir Alan J., 1894-1973, Aviator)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed in full to Sir George ROBEY
(1869-1954, Music Hall Comedian) telling. him that he has “received the cheque for £100 that you asked Mr Morgan to forward to me. I hardly know how to thank you for so great a kindness. After all that you had done, in entering the aeroplane for the Kings Cup, it was a kindness that I had never anticipated, & I thank you not only for the cheque, but your absolute true sportsmanship. I have just returned from Gothenburg in Sweden, where there has been a great International Flying exhibition & contests. I was successful in winning the traffic aeroplane contest, running between Gothenburg and Copenhagen for 5 days carrying the greatest load at teh fastest speed with the lowest fuel consumption. The prize was 15,000 crowns & a Gold Cup presented by the Crown Prince of Sweden. Incidentally, I took the Crown Prince’s two sons on their first flight accompanied by Sir Samuel Hoare & Admiral Mark Kerr. I did all this with the new type DH50 machine. In Sweden, in fact everywhere of late, I find that I am generally known to people as ‘Sir George Robey’s Pilot’ so I feel sure that the Kings Cup event ‘sunk in’. I hope it will not be the last time I shall be in your service...”, 2 sides 4to., 67a Golder’s Green Road, NW11 but on Stage Lane Aerodrome headed paper, 21st August
