T.L.S., Byrd, one page, 4to, Boston, Massachusetts, 29th October 1926, to James D. Pond, on the printed stationery of the Byrd Arctic Expedition. Byrd apologises for a mistake in an earlier letter and continues to explain that his expense to Bridgeport and back again would have been $1.20 for a tax-cab to the station, although adding 'If the taxi-cab is not a perfectly legitimate and proper charge I do not want to make it' and further writing 'It may be that the Navy League will pay my expenses to Washington for the talk I gave.
