ALS in French, one onionskin page, 8.25 x 11.75, August 18, 1959. Letter to Charles R. Joy, in Gray, Maine. Headed at the top by Schweitzer, “On the boat that brings me back to Europe for a short stay.” In part (translated): “In my mind I told you I long for you because I have a deep attachment to you…if later there is a place I write. The hospital staff is now much more numerous than before. While the rooms that were once for visits are now occupied by medicine and nurses…I am much obliged to travel in Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Paris…And I have much work …” In fine condition, with some light toning along top, and expected wrinkles and creases.
