New York, New York July 10th, 1941 My dear Alexis: The bearer of these lines is Mr. Cesar M. de Hauke, a personal friend of mine who is also an associate and member of an important firm both here and in France. I have know this firm for a great many years. Please study with him -- he might eventually come to see you together with another associate who is also a member of the family which has founded the firm -- the possibility of making the best of his experience and knowledge to our mutual benefit. As I will be in a position to control myself the outcome of most of these eventual transactions, I hope you will come to an understanding, Very friendly yours, (Edouard Leroux) M. Alexis Baptifaut Chargeurs Reunies Vichy, France
