Tazio Nuvolari telegraph message, on an official Italian telegram form, bearing a hand-written Italian language message in ink to Langlois, President Commissionaire Sportive, Francorchamps, an approximate translation reading: Sorry to have to pull out of the Grand Prix for the reasons known to you. I wish you every success with the event. Please convey my congratulations to the winner. Best wishes, Nuvolari, framed and glazed, form size 18 by 25cm., 7 by 10in. Although undated, this telegram is probably from 1937, as the Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps that year was to take place on the 11th of July, just six days after Nuvolari was entered for the Vanderbilt Cup race on Long Island, New York.
