Mailing envelope, 5.75 x 4.5, addressed in Ravel's hand to "Madame Fernand Dreyfus, Lyons-la-Foret, (Eure)," and signed in the return address area in the lower left, "Exp: conducteur Ravel, 38e section de pare automobile par B.C.M., Paris." The front panel bears a purple ink stamp of the Automobile Convoys, and the reverse bears an August 1920 postmark. In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing and short tear to the top edge. Mme Fernand Dreyfus was the mother of Roland-Manuel, who was Ravel's close friend and pupil. This dates to WWI, during which Ravel served as a lorry driver.
