Description
Wolff, Pierre – Autograph letter dated 23 January 1941, signed – A long letter of 2 pages and 39 lines, signed by Pierre Wolff. In it, he discusses his numerous financial problems, the derisory royalties he receives and his inability to repay his debts. ‘These few lines will suffice to bring you up to date with my situation [...] I have lost everything since June 1939 [...] the authors’ society paid me 75 francs for August 1939; 26 francs for September! Let’s not even mention the year 1940...” Pierre Wolff (1865–1944), although now largely forgotten, was a successful playwright in the theatre and even in operetta.
