"The death of Jeanne Rey-Millet affects me a lot. I wish I had seen him again"

Swiss sculptor and designer (1902-1985) and the younger brother of the sculptor Alberto Giacometti. ALS in French, signed "Diego," one page both sides, 6 x 3.5, March 27, 1968. Addressed from Paris, a handwritten letter to painter Jean Lemaire, in full (translated): "Thank you for your news. I am very happy to see you at the end of this week. The death of Jeanne Rey-Millet affects me a lot. I wish I had seen him again. We haven't seen each other too often lately but I liked him very much. I would like to leave for a few days in Easter but I may not because in my country, Switzerland, it is still too cold in April. See you soon." In fine condition.
