GERBAULT Alain (1893-1941), sailor and author. L.A.S. "Alain" to "my dear Teddy". On his yacht Alain Gerbault anchored in Casablanca, [January 1933], 2 pp. on in-8 paper on his boat's letterhead. Letter to a relative. He has just finished translating one of his books into English (L'Évangile du soleil published in 1932 by Fasquelle and published in English in 1933). "I'm very pleased with Charles Fasquelle, who is a friend of mine. "I am thinking of leaving soon for climates where the sun shines constantly". He gives news of his nephews, pupils at Cambrai, and of his "sister-in-law who is still with Madame de la Chemelière (201, rue de Grenelle) whose business is not doing very well because of the lack of pupils. I wrote to our friend Lanthion in America to try to get her to send some. Trace of rust on a paperclip.
