Renaudot,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.25, Societe Astronomique de France letterhead, October 27, 1915. Letter to a colleague in Boston. In part (translated): “Would you excuse Mr. Flammarion for not replying sooner. He would like to thank you for your letter…you getting regularly Astronomical society bulletin and you must have noticed that the bulletin is so good that it is read by our soldiers on the front line. Information in the bulletin is giving our soldiers comfort and they can study the sky…many of Mr. Flammarion’s colleagues are on the front line defending our dear France. The crisis that we are in now shouldn’t decrease intellectual study of the sky.” In very good to fine condition, with partial separations to horizontal folds and some scattered light soiling.
