L.A.S., 21 September 1966, to Madame Paul Reynaud; 1 page and a half in-4 with printed letterhead Le Général de Gaulle, (excellent condition), with envelope.
Letter of condolence to Madame Paul Reynaud following the death of Paul Reynaud.
"I was deeply moved and saddened by the news of the death of President Paul Reynaud. Although I may have been somewhat offended by his political attitude in recent years, my extreme regard for his exceptional worth was in no way affected.
Above all, I remained and still remain faithful to the friendship and esteem that united us both in the prodromal stages and then in the ordeal of the greatest tragedy in our history, in which we had to bear the supreme responsibilities one after the other. I cannot forget how much this friendship and esteem have counted in my own destiny.
This tells you, Madam, how deeply I feel - and my wife feels the same way - about your grief and that of your family.
