Description

Son of the founder of the Studebaker Corporation who held several executive positions in the family's automobile business (1871-1932). TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, June 29, 1914. Letter to W. E. Carter, in part: "In my last letter I neglected to tell you that Mrs. Studebaker expects to have two maids with her; on account of Esther's condition we find it impossible to get along with one. Therefore we will want two maid's rooms and a room for chauffeur. I expect to have two cars, and presume you will keep the regular spaces for me." In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
