French politician who served as the first president of the Fourth Republic from 1947 to 1954. TLS in French, one page, 8.5 x 10.75, Presidence de la Republique letterhead, February 19, 1947. Auriol writes Francis Gay, publisher of the Paris newspaper, Aube. In part (translated): “I have the intention of speaking to the meeting of the newspaper publishers on the problem of the press in general. The continuation of the strike and the difficulties of the present time have not permitted me to put my plan into execution…for I would not have wished that my intervention could take on the appearance of meddling in a domain reserved to the president of the government.” Intersecting folds, creasing, and some light soiling, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
