MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND SUPPLY - Lot 237
MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND SUPPLY (Office of the Under-Secretary of State for Supply—signature unidentified) Signed autograph letter, Paris, 31 [month illegible] 1918. One-page autograph letter on quarto-sized paper bearing the letterhead of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply—Office of the Under-Secretary of State for Food Supply—Office of the Under-Secretary of State, dated 1918, with an unidentified signature. A brief note addressed to a friend, answering two questions: the author indicates that it would be preferable to contact a person named Lauweryck (probable reading) directly, then specifies that he will not be able to receive his correspondent until the following week, “for example.” An interesting glimpse into the daily correspondence within the Under-Secretariat of State for Supply during World War I, a period when this agency played a vital role in organizing the country’s supply chain.
