ALS in French, signed “G. Eiffel,” one page, 5 x 8, Villa Salles letterhead, March 6, 1906. Letter to Edward Alfred Martel, the ‘father of modern speoleogy.’ In part (translated): “Since you intend to publish in la Nature a resume of my meteorological investigations allow me to call your attention to an article that appeared last February 15 in the Revue generale des Sciences written by the very knowledgeable Mr. Durand-Gréville. Brief in form, it’s a very complete analysis and seemed perfect to me…I’ve always read the accounts of your brave explorations of caves with the greatest interest.” In fine condition, with a slightly uneven right edge and a small pencil notation near top. Shortly after the opening of the tower, Eiffel installed a meteorological lab on its 3rd floor. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
