Signed autograph letter addressed to James REGGIE with original drawing Paris, March 29, 1933, in French and English, 1 page in-4 in ink and colored pencils on letterhead "14, rue de la Colonie Paris-XIIIe". Signed autograph letter ("Sandy + Louisa") addressed to James Reggie in which the artist evokes the pregnancy of his wife and the future return of the couple to the United States. It is accompanied by a drawing in ink and colored pencils. "Dear James Reggie, my wife she has one, and then we will soon return to America, in May, late, or June, early and we thought we'd stop off at C.S.H. and make Harbor Harris Hoopie for a day or 2. Do let us know if you [are] to be home by that time. This thing is due to explode about August, so you needn't be worried about any indiscretions on your premises. From N[ew] Y[ork] we expect to go to Richmond to stay until we hear the fuse sizzling. Our love to the Fleishies, and yo' mama & papa, an' yo' selfe Sandy + Louisa".
