Title
Postcard from Oscar Miestchaninoff to Jacques Lipchitz
Date
8 August 1932
Description
In this postcard, sent from St Raphael, Miestchaninoff calls Lipchitz 'Dear Marga', signs as 'your Mechan' and talks about nice weather in St Raphael, where they are renting a dwelling near the beach. He also asks Lipchitz to find a letter on the desk in his flat, with the address of his friend 'Franketti' [or 'Franchetti',originally written in Cyrillic),and send this letter to him. Probably, Lipchitz stayed in his flat this time.
