Extremely rare April 1942 dated letter to "Günter Hardering" signed by the Italien General Italo Gariboldi. Hardering has asked for a photo with autograph:

Vi ringrazio molto per la vostra richiesta ma non sono piu il comandante delle forze armate in Africa e quindi l'interesse per la mia fotografia, non hapiu ragione d'essere. Cordialita ed aeuguri
Generale Gariboldi

Thank you very much for your request but I am no longer the commander of the armed forces in Africa and therefore the interest in my photography no longer has any reason to exist. Cordiality and best wishes
Generale Gariboldi
