WRIGHT, WILBUR. Autograph letter signed ("Wilbur Wright") to Hart O. Berg, the Wright Company's representative in Europe, Berlin, Germany, 18 July 1911. 2 pages, large 8vo (written side-by-side), on imprinted stationery of the Hotel Esplanade, ink stamp at top on first page. "My circular letter has naturally made some people pretty mad, but apparently the result I was after has been attained. Rathman does not desire an open flight, and when at first he would not consider the abrogation of the U.A.G. contract, now he is willing to discuss terms of settlement. The A.E.G. answer to my letter has not been sent to me so far. A copy may have been sent to America. If you have a copy, please send it to me, so I may know what they have to say. "I am quite well aware that when a man changes his tactics, he may not at all change his purpose, and I shall scrutinize his proposals with great care...." Apparently unpublished; not in Kelley, Miracle at Kitty Hawk. See note to lot on the rarity of Wilbur's autograph letters.
