Raoul DUFY (1877–1953). Autograph letter, Aspet, February 13, 1945, to Mrs. Létourneaux in Nice; 2 pages, in-4 format, in a stamped envelope. Having taken refuge at Roland Dorgelès’s home in Aspet, Dufy is making arrangements to travel to Perpignan. “Dear Moune, Thank you for taking the flowers to Émilienne, but I didn’t send you enough—that is to say, you didn’t have enough left over for your trouble. I’m sending you a little extra for yourself. Of course, our friend’s car on its way back to Nice would be a fantastic opportunity. The date would work well, too, but I have to leave Aspet first. This afternoon, I’m going to Saint-Gaudens to find out if I can count on the van for Perpignan. What’s bothering me is all that luggage in the car. Even from a friend, it would be excessive. Anyway, I’ll sort it all out, and I’ll have to make it work. Émilienne is sending me pictures of Vence that really excite me. Yes, I think the house is ideal, and I’ll take immense pleasure in getting to know it and living there"...
