CHABAN-DELMAS Jacques (1915-2000). 3 L. A. S., 1947-1948, to General de GAULLE; 4 pages in-8 or in-4. 6 May 1947, Chaban-Delmas offers to let the General stay at the Ligerie (former property of the de Gaulle family) which is "open to him at all times", and which will be at his disposal when he comes to Bordeaux. "Political precaution dictates, no doubt, that no publicity should be given to your coming, because of my current position; but it would, no doubt, be easy to observe serious discretion, especially if your pinching occurred after the ceremonies, i.e. at a time when you would normally escape the various processions"... At the top, de Gaulle noted: "I've been there. No need to reply. C G". [June 1947]. Regrets not being able to go to Lille on Sunday (for a meeting of the R. P. F.) because of a congress of the Radical Party which "it would be good [for him] to attend". 15th January 1948. Greetings. "Your trip to Saint-Étienne and the extended stay in Bordeaux required by my new duties did not allow me to ask to be received by you"...
