Lettre autographe datée et signée remerciant son correspondant

Autograph letter signed by Pierre Benoit, on letterhead from his property in Ciboure, 14 lines in black ink.
Central fold marks, perforations due to filing in a binder having caused the absence of the first letter of Paris on the fourth line of the letter.
Pierre Benoit recalls the recent passing of his wife Marcelle (died on May 28, 1960): "Il y a neuf mois aujourd'hui que la pauvre Marcelle s'en est allée" ["It has been nine months today since poor Marcelle passed away"] and hopes to meet his friend during his next visit to Paris in March.
