Letter on author's personal "Tallahassee" stationery. Shaara was a lifetime writer but consistently struggled with the page. and publishers apparently.

Interestingly Shaara also wrote the book "For the Love of the Game" later published and adapted to the Kevin Costner film of the same name. The Killer Angels was Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winner and is most certainly the book he is remembered for. <br /> <br /> In part "Please excuse me for taking so long to answer your letter. First I was out of the country and then when I go back I was sick for a while - one problem was drugs overdose after a motorcycle accident." Boldly signed at the conclusion in blue ink. A very candid conversational letter in classic Shaara style. Original Letter unknown

In the third year of the great depression that lastest more than a decade Hull writes:<br /> <br /> "Many large groups of American people are in a frightful condition. They are not able to pay one half of their taxes for the past year. They are in in a most ugly state of mind.

(BAYLIES, Cornelius, 1839-? -- Penmanship)
Presented to C. Baylies By the Class of 1874 and 1874 December 25th
Exquisite hand-lettered penmanship example 6¼" X 7" made by an unknown penman or penmen as a Christmas keepsake for the founder of Baylies' Business College of Dubuque Iowa -- said one writer "One of the best and most thorough Business Colleges in the West." Baylies served with the Kansas militia in the Civil War and moved to Dubuque in 1862 joining his cousin's business Baylies Commercial College -- founded 1859 and the oldest school of its kind in Iowa. Before long he became a partner and in 1863 it was renamed the Baylies Commercial School; as sole owner he operated it until 1909; in 1876 he detoured and joined a group of prominent Dubuque citizens who established the Bell Gold Mining Company to mine gold in Plumas City California. The title quoted above is the complete text with "Presented to C. Baylies" in large ornate italic hand and thethree lines below "By the Class of / 1874 and 1875 / December 25th" in a smaller simpler hand and surrounded by elaborate decorative flourishes. A fine example of the type of decorative handwriting normally taught at business schools in the 19th century. unknown

Belle lettre, mentions de Wallard, Paulhan, Dubuffet, Frénaud, Bérard, etc. “Mon cher Joë Bousquet, Voici le Médisant, après La Connaissance du Soir! J’arrive après une absence de plus d'un mois pour trouver ici une présence renouvelée, la vôtre : je vous écris peu et cependant vous êtes I ‘un de ceux que je cite avec le plus de fidélité. Je n'oublierai pas Carcassonne, ce temps et mon trop rapide passage dans son épaisseur. Le Médisant est un livre merveilleux, un nouveau Marco Polo au pays intérieur, et que I 'on lit d'abord d'une traite pour le reprendre ensuite fragment par fragment : tout y est quasi-classique, l’eau forte et le trait ensemble y font le style. C'est vous, et puis-je me permettre de vous dire que je regrette de vous si mal, si peu connaître ... Je parlais de vous avec un fraternel ami, Daniel Wallard, pharmacien, quai du port, à Trouville. II est aussi un esprit très fin, ami de Paulhan et critique d'art. Wallard s'offre à vous faire profiter d’environ 1 kg. de ce qui peut vous manquer, au prix d'avant la guerre ... Si cela pouvait vous être agréable, écrivez-lui de ma part. Je crois qu'il est difficile peut-être d'approcher en ce moment le sorcier noir. On parle de la Connaissance dans le prochain n° de la revue. J’ai aussi souvent parlé de vous avec Jean Dubuffet: il m’a promis d’aller vous voir, je suis sur que vous aurez plaisir à le rencontrer. Frénaud écrit un bien beau long poème “La noce noire”. Aimez-vous Frénaud ? Christian Bérard illustre Castellat pour moi. Et j’ai revu le vent, le maître incontesté de votre ville. Après vous...”

5 L.A.S. à Noël Arnaud.
7 pages de formats divers dont une carte postale. Paris, 26 avril 1947 - 5 janvier 1948. Très intéressante correspondance autour de l'activité du groupe et de la revue Surréalisme Révolutionnaire, et notamment de René CHAR… Il a reçu réponse de Char à sa proposition de collaboration au groupe (inutile d'attirer ton attention sur l'importance de cette lettre, de l'appui moral acquis pour nous de R.C.…) et il transmet à Arnaud la copie conforme des passages intéressants ainsi qu'un poème inédit de Char destiné à la revue : " …Tu sais combien tes efforts et ceux de tes camarades sont fraternellement suivis par moi. Je crois sincèrement que vous ne devez pas vous alourdir au départ de vieux vagabonds comme nous. C'est une " façon d'exister " que vous proposez et que vous défendez, qu'il faut que vous imposiez à l'intérieur de votre parti, peut-être à travers quelques uns que vous aimez dont je m'honore d'être, et contre les clowns, les pourrisseurs, et les Saint-Just de pissotière. Vous serez plus forts si vous ne vous hypothéquez pas… " Dans les autres lettres il réclame ou demande que l'on transmette des documents ou des comptes rendus de réunions du S.R. On mentionne les noms de Jaguer, Dotremont, mais aussi Biton, Trouille, Puel, etc.

Cela peut ne pas être indifférent ! Le dernier feuillet du manuscrit comporte un long mot autographe signé destiné à Christian DOTREMONT : …J'ai vivement regretté de ne pas t'avoir vu lors de tes récentes apparitions, à Paris, et Bruxelles est bien loin pour moi!

LE GRAND ÉCART, PAR JEAN COCTEAU. MANUSCRIT AUTOGRAPHE SIGNÉ. 6 pages in-8, quelques ratures et corrections au crayon.
Paru dans le n° 16 d'Intentions, mars 1923. Texte critique très élogieux malgré une introduction acide qui embrase toute l'activité antérieure de Cocteau: "Tout chemin peut mener jusqu'à soi-même, sauf quand on est bête. De travesti en travesti, de gageure en gageure, animé d'un étonnant désir de convaincre, Jean Cocteau, qui pense à tout mais qui a oublié d'être bête, arrive au bout d'un vaste périple d'expériences et d'avatars..." "Il a aimé la gloire. Il l'a tant aimée qu'il sera probablement tout à fait dégouté quand elle sera à lui tout à fait. Ces choses-là arrivent. Cette fois-ci déjà, ce n'est plus par souci de forcer la gloire que Jean Cocteau a mis dans le Grand écart ce qui en fait un livre de premier rang. Déjà il n'écrit plus pour; il écrit parce que".
