ALS in French, signed “H. Matisse,” one page, 6 x 7.25, Hotel Terminus letterhead, June 8, 1934. Letter to Emile Kas, in full (translated): "I had a good trip and had an excellent afternoon off, as if I had left all my worries at home—I forgot something very important: it's Vichy caramel for Claude. You have to take four boxes from the tobacco shop and wrap them up and mail them as soon as possible. It's red round boxes with a blue stripe on which it says 'Vichy cost 2 fr.' I hope all is well; I recommend you well Raudi and Gika—try to distract them; a walk goes a long way but be careful with cars." In fine condition. Emile Kas and his wife Marie were a Czech couple employed by Matisse as part of the painter's household staff.Format: ALS
