RENOIR Auguste (1841-1919)
L.A.S. to M. le Commissaire général. Paris, 22 October 1911.
1 pp. two-sheet in-8, corner heading of the Maison de santé Velpeau.
Letter from Renoir to the Maison de santé Velpeau where the painter had gone to treat the malformations in his hands that so hampered his painting. (...) It is fortunate to learn from the general commissioner of an exhibition that, at your suggestion, I have been made an officer of the Legion of Honor. I am not unaware of the part that you took in this circumstance and I address you my thanks (...).
