Georges Manzana-pissarro - Autographed Letter Signed To His Father Camille Pissarro

Georges MANZANA-PISSARRO (1871 - 1961), French painter.
Autograph letter signed to his father, Camillen Pissarro. February 13; 2 pages, octavo.
Family letter: "My dear Father, This is a terrible predicament. Deroza's wife is about to give birth, he owes his landlord three months' wages (he's a diamond cutter), and he hasn't had any work for six weeks. He has three children, not counting the one on the way, and on top of that, he has to support his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Berne will come to see you to ask if you can do anything for him. I heard all this from Berne; I haven't seen anything myself. Now you can do what you want, remember Thornley [the artist George William Thornley]!" I won't be able to go to the bank today, I have too many errands to run before leaving, but you could ask Rodolphe to go and get the information; there's nothing stopping him and he'd be happy to do so. If I hadn't been forced to leave, I would have gone (…) Don't show my snow gear in Bern.
