CAPABLANCA JOSE RAUL: (1888-1942) Cuban chess player, World Chess champion 1921-27. T.L.S., Capa, one page, 4to, Havana, Cuba, 30th June 1940, to his second wife Olga Chagodaev ('Ma chere Kikiriki'), in French and English, on the printed stationery of the Hotel Packard. Capablanca states that his wife's letter arrived yesterday evening and that he is pleased she is settled and with new furniture ('Because you know how well I like clean things and old furniture always has a dirty air about it'), adding that he has written a letter to the bank, who will take care of payments, and further discussing domestic plans in New York, 'The arrangement that you made is good: you will have the month of July to arrange the apartment, without paying for anything. For the rugs, I believe that one must buy them in New York also. I believe you should have a carpet for the bed room and a rug for the living room…..Take it easy about fixing up the apt., now that you have where to put the furniture you can take your time. Should you be invited to spend a week-end somewhere by some Lady friend of yours, go ahead and take a rest. Do not forget to have a clause in the contract that in case we go away some where (sic), we have the right to sublet the apt. I hope that it will not happen, but we should be prepared for any eventuality'. Accompanied by the original envelope. VG
