FRENCH IN THE UNITED STATES. AMERICAN WINE. (L. ROULET). LOT OF 2 LAS. Illinois, 1907. In-12 format. 4 pp. on 2 folded sheets, in small in-12 format, dated April 3, 1907 on Hotel Hamilton letterhead / J. T. Guy, Proprietor, in Hamilton, Illinois and 2 pp. on one folded ff. in petti in-8 format, dated April 27, 1907 in Marsan, Illinois. Dense, fine handwriting, fairly legible, sometimes shrunken for lack of space, addressed from the US by a Frenchman to Mr. and Mrs. Delcourt, his friends. The author is unidentified, but seems to be on a professional trip to the United States in the agricultural field, and more specifically in vineyards and winemaking. He tells his couple of dear friends that he must learn and break his farming habits. He also gives an interesting account of his boat trip, his arrival and his view of Americans at the very beginning of the 20th century. A few stains, traces of the correspondence fold, not serious.
