Handwritten list of Aimé Tschiffely's publications on the stationery of the Solanet Ranch.

Page two of handwritten list.  Here Aimé has added more titles in red ink.

Royalty document from Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. - Tschiffely's books had brought in the princely sum of £2.16.4!  (That's two pounds, sixteen shillings and fourpence in Britain's pre-decimal currency.)

Aimé Tschiffely was a Freemason!  This is one of his Masonic certificates....

... and this is the other.

Thanks to Oscar Solanet, we have a copy of the letter Aimé wrote to his father to enquire about using Criollo horses for his journey. Interestingly, when he wrote the letter in November 1924 he had a slightly different itinerary in mind.
