TROTSKY, Leon Davidovich (1879–1940). Autograph letter signed “L. D.,” Mexico City, July 19, 1937, to Mrs. Frida RIVERA [Frida KAHLO]; 2 pages, large 8vo, stamped envelope addressed to Villa Obregon (creases); in French. End of his affair with Frida Kahlo Note: He visited the Landero family, with whom he would take refuge (at the San Miguel Regla hacienda) after his wife discovered his affair with Frida Kahlo, whom he had just left. “Yesterday you expressed a desire to accompany me to Pachuca (though it was already too late). I recall that I did not thank you for your offer, which was an expression of your tireless kindness toward me. You are truly admirable, and my heart is full of gratitude. This morning’s fishing was magnificent. The day promises to be a very good one. When will you be leaving for Veracruz? Alone? With D. D. [Diego RIVERA]? Allow me to insist once more: try to write; it will do you a world of good. If I can be of any help to you in your work, I’d be very happy to do so.
