Description

ALS in French, one page both sides, 8 x 10.5, no date. Handwritten letter to an art dealer, "Monsieur Brame," in full (translated): "In memory of the members of your family whom I met and better with whom I became friends, such as with Templare and Henri Brame whom I knew through my cousin Diot, please tell me if you can do something for me. I am going to live in a villa in Vence in which there is no gas—which is very inconvenient for the kitchen; there is only a wood stove. My friend Bonnard advised me to write to you in the hope that you might be able to help me install the Butagaz. I only need it for this summer, 2 months. Please be kind enough to tell me in a word if I can expect anything from Butagaz." In fine condition, with light creasing.
