French industrialist (1878-1935) best remembered for the make of car bearing his name. TLS in French, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, July 27, 1932. Letter to Raymond Patenotre, in part: "I take the liberty of drawing your attention to the report which was given to me and according to which the C-6 car that I rented you (under the very special conditions, you know, that I give to the Ministers), would be used only by Members of your Cabinet. This favor was requested of me on various occasions by different ministers for directors or members of their cabinet, and I naturally had to refuse it because, in my intention, these special conditions are obviously only made for ministers alone. Would you therefore be so kind as to examine whether you could not put an end to this state of affairs by using our car yourself as often as possible, by making frequent car exchanges with the director of your cabinet." In fine condition, with a crease to the lower left corner, and several rusty paperclip impressions. Accompanied by a draft of Patenotre's response.
