Summary
Two tickets for trips to Northport, where Antoine and Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry rented a house during the summer of 1942, numbered 450049 and 440016 (the latter with a small separate piece with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's signature on verso; Cornell has marked the verso of the ticket "autograph of Antoine de Saint-Saint-Exupéry" and dated it 9/21/42). The tickets are presumed to be mementoes of visits Cornell made to the house.
