BROSSOLETTE Pierre (1903-1944) journalist, politician; hero of the Resistance, he committed suicide to avoid speaking out. L.A.S. "Pierre Brossolette", Royan August 27, 1930, [to G. PELLETIER, Agence économique de Madagascar]; 1 page in-8. Very rare letter from the great Resistance fighter, at the start of his journalistic career. "I did a lot of copying for a host of magazines, finished a book for POMARET, and was on call at rue Oudinot. Friendship suffered from all this - and I apologize. Ministerial" activity remains as vague and incoordinated as ever. He "holds" more than ever to the projects that are dear to us. We know all that. And it's getting rather exasperating. Will you be in Paris in early September? I'll be there, after a few days at sea (the weather is fine, by chance) and before a few days of campaigning... alas, quasi-electoral campaigning. I'll be happy to see you"...
