GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., Paris, 4 May 1936, to Paul Reynaud; 2 1/2 pages in-8 on the printed letterhead of the Presidency of the Conseil Supérieur de la Défense Nationale. Congratulations following Paul Reynaud's election victory. "It is with deep joy that I send you my respectful congratulations on your victory, achieved in the most difficult circumstances imaginable. The foolish and the jealous having thus missed their chance, there is no doubt that we will see spirits rallying en masse to the conceptions that you have defended with such talent and courage, and whose validity is only too well proven by events. Please accept, Minister, that I am as determined to serve you tomorrow as I was yesterday. Minor splits and small stains on one page without affecting the text. Paul Reynaud had just won the legislative elections despite the Front Populaire wave. Bibliography: L. N. C., vol. 1, p. 793-794.
