ALS in French, signed “H. Matisse,” one page both sides, 8.25 x 10.5, June 26, 1934. Letter to Emile, in full (translated): "I received the photo plates. I am glad that all is going well and that you have gotten your driver's license. I am sending you a check for 500 fr to pay Mme. Lydia's bill which you will be getting at the end of the month or, I think, on July 5. Would you tell me where we stand with your salary? I paid you in advance, but I don't know until when. I wrote it down some place, only where? You can get your thousand when you ask for it. Has that bright Kulien come by? Did you tell him to bring the silk?" Matisse adds pencil notations to the upper right, "don't lose the check, deposit it right away," and on the reverse, "write to me when you've received the letter, because of the check." In fine condition.
