GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., 28 February 1940, to Paul Reynaud; 1 1/2 pages in-4 with handwritten letterhead of the Tank Command of an Army Sect. 100. Dedication of Charles de Gaulle to Paul Reynaud. "In the destination that has been set for me, and that you are willing to announce to me, I see and I measure what is due to you. If my desire to one day be in a position to serve you were not already at its highest, it would be brought there today by my gratitude. In the command that will be given to me thanks to you, I shall endeavour to demonstrate in combat the value of the concepts of military renovation to which you have already attached your name as a statesman". Slight tears and missing parts on the lower part of the page and on the right-hand side. Bibliography: L. N. C., vol. 1, p. 924.
