^Lot 373 Robert F. Scott

TLS signed “General Bob,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, October 10, 1974. Letter to the president of the American Freedom Train Foundation seeking restitution for broken promises. In part: “This is a great country. This dedicated patriot spent three days…at your request, with his memorabilia for your use and to be the first of two speakers at the first planning conference at what you call the American Freedom Train. Nine months later your Preamble Express sped through this patriot’s city, blowing its whistle, evidently indicating to this patriot to move out of the way…Arriving at a figure that will justify the mental anguish of such a gross injustice that I think was done to me could be quite considerable…Therefore, to answer your request, I consider the monetary consideration to be $22,000. This sum is for the two items referred to herein, namely, the excellent coverage I gave your project and the mental anguish of the gross injustice.” In fine condition, with rusty staple hole to top left of pages, several ink notations to second page (one indicating Scott’s request), and a few wrinkles.
