Lengthy ALS in German and French, one page, 8.25 x 11, September 15, 1960. Letter to Margrieta van der Kreek, in Bussum, Holland. In part (translated): “Unfortunately, to my chagrin, I must admit that among the things I have failed to do recently is also the fact that I did not announce you to Père Père. But I was dragging myself along in great fatigue and had to stand all day at the construction site, so that the concrete walls of the new building grow out of the ground before the looming rainy season comes. I made good progress, but I was incapable of using the evenings for writing as I should have and wanted to. Here is the note of introduction to Père Père. In the hospital everything is going well. The rainy season has not yet begun. I had trouble getting used to the fact that you no longer work here. I miss Guy a lot, too. It will take a while for me to get used to that. But I am pleased that you are happy.” Attractively double-matted and framed with a portrait of Schweitzer to an overall size of 20.5 x 18.25. A few small tape-repaired edge tears and wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
