MENUHIN YEHUDI: (1916-1999) American-born British Violinist. T.L.S., Yehudi Menuhin, one page, 4to, London, 3rd June 1959, to Mr Francois Schapira in Bucarest. Menuhin refers to the forbidden movements of population in Rumania, stating in part `I have had the great pleasure of seeing your mother during these days in Florence and in this joy I have felt somehow guilty knowing that you her son and daughter-in-law are not able to share her in the natural and rightful way which is a child´s and mother´s birth right.´, and further explaining his contacts with Rumanian authorities, saying `… as I cannot help but believe the genuine intentions of the Rumanian government as they were formerly expressed to me… As you know I was assured that nothing would stand in the way of family reunion and this was a recognised principle of all movements of population.´ Small overall creasing and a stain to the upper left corner, not affecting the text or signature.
