GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., Paris, 31 December 1935, to Paul Reynaud; 3 pages in-8 on the printed letterhead of the Presidency of the Conseil Supérieur de la Défense Nationale. Renovation of military policy. "Please accept my most respectful and sincere wishes for you. There is no doubt that 1936 will see the continuation of your political and, I would add, national rise. Great minds," said Vauvenargues, "must expect success only from great ideas, great deeds, and nothing else. You are the living and shining proof of this motto. As someone who, to an infinitely more modest degree, also suffers the inevitable repercussions of the offensive, I would like nothing better than to be able to collaborate with you in the military field in the renewal of French policy that you have undertaken in all areas". Small stains with no real damage to the text, trace of paperclip. Bibliography: L. N. C., vol. 1, p. 788-789.
