1925, ROALD AMUNDSEN, handwritten letter (Dec 13th) on illustrated lettersheet of "Hotel Statler Buffalo", addressed to Mrs Murphy; he expresses his delight that "his little friend" (apparently Mrs Murphy's son) is out of danger and recalls his visit at the Murphy family. He also tells Mrs Murphy that he just had signed some photos (he had promised her autographs) and wishes all the best for Christmas and the New Year. (Roald Amundsen 1872-1928 was a Norwegian Polar explorer; he was the first man to reach the geographic South Pole in 1911. In 1926 his expedition via Airship reached also the geographic North Pole. Since neither Robert Peary nor Frederick Cook or Richard Byrd could sufficiently prove their claim to have reached the North Pole, Mr. Amundsen was possibly also the first man having reached the North Pole)
