Description
25. Doubs. CPA. Sochaux. Euthyme Mskhétély, beekeeper. Matrem omium confitemur et colimus. (Circulated, Tabac Colette in Sochaux, 1938, to Mr Alphandéry, in Montfavet: regarding his book *L’abeille et la ruche* (‘The Bee and the Hive’), ‘I had, however, ordered it from you first, and indeed, in principle, I had ordered it from you, since I wrote to you on the back of my payment slip asking you to set it aside for me. I intended to send you the cost along with the insurance premium for the bees. I regret that you were unable to set it aside for me for a few days”. He was unable to write at the start of the year, and so could not take out a subscription to the *Gazette apicole*; ‘so I am not receiving it to find out about your insurance arrangements. I shall buy the mould from you when I need it; I haven’t been able to get what I wanted. Yet last year, I personally secured two subscribers for you… Oh well, never mind!…” [Small tears throughout, a crease in the corner].
