TLS in German, signed “Ihr L. Trotsky,” one page, 8.25 x 10.75, November 2, 1933. Letter to Lilly and Ludwig Lore, regretting that illness prevents his visiting them. In part (translated): "I am deeply bitter that our meeting never took place. At the doctors' orders, I had to spend almost a month in his very remote corner of France, cut off from all contact with friends and even from any correspondence. I have only now found your dear letter, like dozens of others, after returning to 'normal' life." In fine condition, with some light wrinkling and a rusty paperclip impression.
In 1929, Trotsky was forced to leave the Soviet Union. An unexplained fire at his house on Prinkipo Island prompted him to move to France in the summer of 1933, which at that time was the only country to grant him asylum.
