Trewey, Felicien. Pair of Autograph Letters Signed, “F. Trewey,” to Maurice Raymond. Asnieres–sur-Seine, France, 1916. On two different examples of Trewey’s pictorial notepaper, in somewhat broken English, regarding his desire to attend a matinee performance of his “old confrere in illusions artistic,” having just conferred on Raymond’s arrival in France with Charles DeVere. In the second letter, written after witnessing the matinee, he praises Raymond’s demeanor and elegance on stage, writing that he had “never see[n] one with so much good jovialite… You are really very amusing for every class of Society.” Mailing folds, staple marks upper left, contemporary blue pencil correspondence notations.
