Description: Letter in manuscript from a father to his son Jim, dated November 23, 1959. 1 sheet (2 pages); 8.5 x 11 inches. The letter begins with an anecdote about a driver who blamed his speeding on his dog: "This guy was arrested weaving through traffic at over 100 MPH in a superb exhibition of driving. He indignantly refused to take a drunkometer test - said his dog was at the wheel. Actual news item!" With a charming illustration in ink, watercolor, and crayon of a dog driving a car while his owner imbibes in the passenger seat. The letter also discusses visits to Tolm Motors in Darien, Connecticut, which specializes in foreign cars, and compares features of various models of cars. Toning along fold lines. Very Good.
