Notes: 
Letter, dated October 7, 1935, to A. N. Khouri & Brother in New York City in response to Khouri's inquiry of Carder's opinion of René Lalique. Carder describes Lalique as "outstanding" and "unique". He describes that Lalique has "[brought] to the glass industry the ability and fertility of conception of an artist, together with the skill of a consummate craftsman, in producing moulds the like of which had not been done before." He closes his letter with "there is only one Lalique."
