"Je ne veux plus te voir en prison car toi dehors c'est un peu de moi même qui sera libre. Tu donnes une parole pour cette liberté. prouve que nous autres la tenons toujours en bien comme en mal. C'est ce qui nous unit le plus ; voyous dangereux . mais droits"" • Autograph letter dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine written from the prison of Fleury-Mérogis addressed to his companion Jeanne Schneider who was then incarcerated and who could soon be released
Fleury-Mérogis 1976. Fine. Fleury-Mérogis 21 Octobre 1976 21 x 29.50 cm une page recto verso Autograph letter signed and dated by Jacques Mesrine dated Thursday October 21 1976 70 lines in blue ink on one recto-verso page addressed to his lover at the time Jeanne Schneider thanks to whom the manuscript of Instinct de mort was discreetly smuggled out of prison. Jacques Mesrine then incarcerated at Fleury-Mérogis prison rejoices at having been able to speak with his beloved in the visiting room who was also imprisoned: ""What a very pleasant visit you were moreover very feminine in that outfit which is very much in your style as a woman. even worth double the price because I like it"" and attempts to reassure her so that she does not lose all fight against the prison system that crushes inmates: ""But if by misfortune a new refusal should affect you do not have that bad reaction you told me about because those who surround you and have helped you do not deserve to pay for the injustice of others. You will have to face it as always. Because the doors will open one day and you know it."" As a protective patriarch Jacques Mesrine worries about the despair that could strike her and her daughter Murielle placed with social services: ""But I worry enormously about you because you have a limit. and I believe you have reached it! or almost. Regarding Mury and that bogus judge. we will see about removing her from social services. I prefer to pay for her studies and Mrs. Chevallier and all her upkeep if necessary. If you get out! Tell me. so many women to support. I'd better work overtime sic"" Public enemy No. 1 evokes Jeanne Schneider's upcoming freedom while ordering her not to fall back into criminality: "".If you get out formal prohibition from getting involved with me on a level that we both understand very well. I don't want to see you in prison anymore because you outside is a little bit of myself that will be free. You give your word for this freedom. prove that we others always keep it in good times as in bad"" Jacques Mesrine praises his companion's integrity the keystone of their strong union through the deprivation of freedom: ""This is what unites us most; criminals dangerous. but honest. This is what makes me love you with you no unpleasant surprises; you are 'white-blue' and for me you have the value of a diamond. It is the only stone that is harder than steel sic. but less hard than me resic"" He ends this missive with this humorous note reflecting the terrible intrusive reality of the penitentiary system: ""And if my Christmas package is prepared by you. the administration will X-ray it"" but also with these tender words: ""Sweet kisses rest on your lips. gesture of love that has united us always and for a long time. EL VIEJO Bandido!"" Rare and very beautiful letter from Jacques Mesrine in which we discover him protective and eager for freedom for his companion and for whom honesty must be erected as a rule of life. unknown

"J'ai reçu une lettre de Betty qui me remercie car je lui ai offerte une mobylette. Pourquoi me diras-tu Tout simplement parce que j'aime voir les enfants heureux et je crois que leur bonheur m'est nécessaire. Cette môme me plaît de par sa mentalité."""" • Autograph letter written from the Santé prison dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine addressed to his companion Jeanne Schneider whom he nicknamed Nanou d'amour
Paris 1976. Fine. Paris 11 Octobre 1976 21 x 29.50 cm une page recto verso Autograph letter dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine dated Monday October 11 1976 70 lines in blue ink on one recto-verso page addressed to his love of the time Jeanne Schneider thanks to whom the manuscript of Instinct de mort was discreetly smuggled out of prison. Jacques Mesrine then incarcerated at La Santé showers with gifts the people he loves because he wants their happiness: ""Comme cela j'ai payé une mobylette à mes trois gamines. Toi ce sera une quatre roues sic."" ""Like this I paid for a moped for my three girls. For you it will be four wheels sic."" He shows all his affection for a young girl named Betty whom he seems to cherish more than his own daughter Sabrina: ""Peut-être que je recherche en Betty ce que je ne trouve pas en Sabrina et que Mury m'a refusé ! Tu sais mon ange ; à 15 ans j'aurais tellement aimé avoir un copain de 40 ans à qui je puisse tout dire qui sache m'aider ou m'offrir mon rêve. Peut-être que ce cadeau je me le fais à moi-même."" ""Maybe I'm looking for in Betty what I don't find in Sabrina and what Mury refused me! You know my angel; at 15 I would have loved so much to have a 40-year-old friend to whom I could tell everything who would know how to help me or offer me my dream. Maybe this gift I'm giving it to myself."" for whom he has no more confidence feeling betrayed: ""Mais on ne devient jamais l'ami de quelqu'un qui vous juge. Pas plus que pour Sabrina ! qui elle m'a trompé dans ma confiance donc dans mon amour. Quand on use les sentiments ils ne redeviennent jamais les mêmes."" ""But one never becomes the friend of someone who judges you. No more than with Sabrina! who deceived my trust and therefore my love. When feelings are worn out they never become the same again."" Public enemy No. 1 takes great pride in his relationship with Jeanne Schneider based on honesty: ""C'est peut-être pour cela que je me suis toujours refusé à te mentir - quitte à te faire souffir. Je n'ai aucun passé.mais un seul présent ""Toi"". C'est peut-être cela qui fait que notre amour dure depuis 10 ans "" ""Maybe that's why I've always refused to lie to you - even if it means making you suffer. I have no past.but only one present 'You'. Maybe that's what makes our love last for 10 years "" Jacques Mesrine then turns to material considerations so important for a prisoner: ""J'ai reçu ton linge. Je ne risque pas d'avoir froid cet hiver. Le polo est très bien."" ""I received your clothes. I won't risk being cold this winter. The polo shirt is very good."" before castigating the inhumanity of the prison system and its indifference to suffering: ""Mais nous n'avons rien à attendre des juges et si ma lettre au président a été ferme c'est le genre de lettre qu'il comprendra mieux que le style ventre à terre."" ""But we have nothing to expect from judges and if my letter to the president was firm it's the kind of letter he will understand better than the groveling style."" As an eternally untamed man Jacques Mesrine never ceases to advocate fighting against the prison administration: ""On ne se défend pas en mettant sa tête dans le sable comme l'autruche ! Dès l'instant où l'on prend une arme dans la main. il faut s'attendre à payer ! que Michou le comprenne ce n'est pas le moment d'être ""bébé"" mais celui d'être femme."" ""You don't defend yourself by putting your head in the sand like an ostrich! From the moment you take a weapon in your hand. you must expect to pay! let Michou understand this is not the time to be a 'baby' but to be a woman."" Jacques Mesrine ends this beautiful letter with a moving declaration of love full of optimistic humor: ""Ton vieux tigre pose de doux bécots sur tout ce qui est toi. Bonne nuit chaton et un moral d'acier est de rigueur ok. Je t'adore chanceuse & Ton mystère Jacques !! ""Te adoro A toi seule."" ""Your old tiger puts gentle kisses on everything that is you.

"Tu sais j'ai bien réfléchi pour le bouquin. il doit y avoir veto quelque part. car s'il était publié cela retarderait mes procès ou un truc dans ce genre."" • Autograph letter signed by Jacques Mesrine written from the prison of Fleury-Mérogis on the evening of New Year's Eve on December 31 1976 addressed to his companion Jeanne Schneider whom he nicknamed Nanou d'amour in connection with the publication of his book L'Instinct de mort
Fleury-Mérogis 1976. Fine. Fleury-Mérogis 31 Décembre 1976 21 x 29.50 cm une page recto verso Autograph letter dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine dated Friday December 31st 1976 approximately 70 lines in blue ink on one recto verso page addressed to his love of the time Jeanne Schneider thanks to whom the manuscript of Instinct de mort was discreetly smuggled out of prison. Jacques Mesrine then incarcerated at Fleury-Mérogis prison wondered about the difficulties he might encounter if his Instinct de mort were to appear soon and with which sufficiently courageous publisher it could be edited: ""Je vais voir avec mon avocate pour les ""presses de la cité"" car je crois que l'on peut tirer un trait sur Simone. De toute façon il sera publié par celui acceptera d'en courir le risque"" ""I'm going to see with my lawyer about the ""presses de la cité"" because I think we can draw a line under Simone. In any case it will be published by whoever will accept to run the risk"" He also advised his beloved on her working conditions: ""Au sujet de ton boulot. j'espère que tu as discuté avec ta patronne car les horaires ne sont pas légaux. ne te laisse pas faire à ce sujet. Vis à vis du procureur tu es obligé de travailler. cela ne veut pas dire être esclave au boulot."" ""About your job. I hope you discussed with your boss because the hours are not legal. don't let yourself be taken advantage of on this subject. With regard to the prosecutor you are obliged to work. that doesn't mean being a slave at work."" and worried about the future of his daughter Sabrina: ""Demain j'espère la visite de la puce. je vais avoir une très sérieuse conversation avec elle au sujet de l'avenir. Car elle ne fait rien en classe. donc le mieux pour elle est de travailler pour obtenir un CAP en quelque chose. Elle veut jouer les adultes. alors il va falloir qu'elle se conduise en adulte."" ""Tomorrow I hope for a visit from the little one. I'm going to have a very serious conversation with her about the future. Because she does nothing in class. so the best thing for her is to work to get a vocational certificate in something. She wants to play at being an adult. so she'll have to behave like an adult."" Public enemy No. 1 evoked the coming new year: "".l'année nouvelle qui s'annonce. que nous réservera-t-elle. je l'ignore mais rien de bon si la logique se fait loi. cela ne m'empêchera pas de garder mon moral."" "".the new year that is coming. what will it hold for us. I don't know but nothing good if logic becomes law. that won't stop me from keeping my morale up."" Jacques Mesrine alone in his cell on the evening of December 31st New Year's Eve ended this beautiful letter with affectionate thoughts for Jeanne Schneider: ""Ce soir j'ai la tête un peu vide. tu comprends mais j'ai le coeur plein de toi et c'est cela qui compte. je vais me mettre dans les draps et penser à toi. Ton vieux voyou pose de tendres bécots sur tout ce qui est toi. Bonne nuit chaton. Te quiero."" ""Tonight my head is a bit empty. you understand but my heart is full of you and that's what counts. I'm going to get into the sheets and think of you. Your old rogue places tender kisses on everything that is you. Good night kitten. Te quiero."" and with this humorous note: "".tu connais cette blague : c'est une femme condamnée à mort. arrivée devant la guillotine elle embrasse le verre que l'on vient de lui servir. Le procureur demande : ""elle est folle que fait-elle"". L'avocat lui répond ""elle embrasse son dernier rhum"" Pas mal hein. un petit sourire ma puce.""

The prosecutor asks: ""is she crazy what is she doing"". The lawyer replies ""she's kissing her last rum"" Not bad eh. a little smile my darling.""

"Il n'y a pas de cause perdue d'avance. Dans la vie il faut se battre jusqu'au bout. tu sais pourtant ce que cela représente. Tu vois moi je vais au maximum ! et pourtant je vais me défendre toutes dents dehors. Car ma liberté il faudra me la prendre. Je ne la donnerai pas faute de combat ! "" • Autograph letter written from the Santé prison dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine addressed to his companion Jeanne Schneider whom he nicknamed Nanou d'amour
Paris 1976. Fine. Paris 12 Octobre 1976 21 x 29.50 cm une page recto verso Autograph letter dated and signed by Jacques Mesrine dated Tuesday October 12 1976 70 lines in blue ink on one recto-verso page addressed to his love of the time Jeanne Schneider thanks to whom the manuscript of Instinct de mort was discreetly smuggled out of prison. Jacques Mesrine then incarcerated at La Santé shows great tenderness and reveals himself in another light that of the affectionate and attentive lover: ""Bonsoir petite fille. tu aimes bien jouer ""au St Bernard"" tu ne changeras jamais à ce sujet. C'est toi qui a 7 ans 1/2 de taule et tu dois remonter le moral des ""gamines"" qui ont joué du calibre !"" ""Good evening little girl. you like to play 'the St Bernard' you'll never change about that. You're the one who has 7 and a half years of jail and you have to cheer up the 'girls' who played with guns!"" He praises and is somewhat amazed by his companion's devotion to a couple of young criminals: ""Tu me parles d'une sentence de 20 ans pour elle ! tu rigoles ou quoi. elle ne peut pas prendre plus de 8 ans je la vois plutôt avec 5 ou 6 si les choses s'arrangent. Son mari avec 20 ans au maximum."" ""You talk to me about a 20-year sentence for her! are you kidding or what. she can't get more than 8 years I see her more with 5 or 6 if things work out. Her husband with 20 years maximum."" and tries to transmit all his optimism his pugnacity and to cheer her up: ""Tu sais ma puce; quand tu m'écris que la cause de Michou est une cause perdue d'avance je ne te comprends plus. Il n'y a pas de cause perdue d'avance. Dans la vie il faut se battre jusqu'au bout. tu sais pourtant ce que cela représente. Tu vois moi je vais au maximum ! et pourtant je vais me défendre toutes dents dehors. Car ma liberté il faudra me la prendre. Je ne la donnerai pas faute de combat !"" ""You know my darling; when you write to me that Michou's cause is a lost cause from the start I don't understand you anymore. There is no lost cause from the start. In life you have to fight to the end. you know what that represents though. You see I'm going for the maximum! and yet I'm going to defend myself tooth and nail. Because my freedom will have to be taken from me. I won't give it up for lack of fighting!"" Jacques Mesrine also evokes his love of horse racing while boasting of being a betting specialist: ""Oui j'avais joué ""Dernier tango"" mais seulement à la place. J'avais 2000frs dessus je gagne donc 6000frs. Ce n'est pas de la chance mais un savant calcul. Il m'arrive de perdre mais avec ma méthode je suis obligé d'être gagnant. Forécement pour la suivre il faut un certain capital. J'ai mis plus d'un an à faire tous les calculs de probabilité. Cela doit me rapporter à peu près 7000frs par mois. Net d'impots sic."" ""Yes I had bet on 'Dernier tango' but only for place. I had 2000frs on it so I win 6000frs. It's not luck but a scientific calculation. I sometimes lose but with my method I have to be a winner. Obviously to follow it you need a certain capital. I spent more than a year doing all the probability calculations. It should bring me about 7000frs per month. Net of taxes sic."" He ironizes about his situation as a prisoner having plenty of time to devise his financial gain strategies: ""J'ai aussi mis au point une méthode pour le jeu de baccara. Que veux-tu. j'ai le temps de calculer un tac de choses sic ! Tu me comprends . L'administration aussi ! resic. "" ""I also developed a method for baccarat. What do you want. I have time to calculate a bunch of things sic! You understand me . The administration too! resic."" but deplores his impossibility to continue writing Instinct de mort: "". je suis actuellement incapable d'écrire une page de mon bouquin. je ne sais pas comment tourner ce passage-là . enfin je vais bien trouver la solution.""

Published in 1954 Normance is a direct sequel to Féérie pour une autre fois which appeared two years earlier. Both parts were written during Céline's years of exile and imprisonment in Denmark. Upon his return to France in 1951 Céline undertook a work of ""polishing"" and published these two titanic texts independently originally conceived as one. ""Céline while working on it thought of this novel as a second Voyage au bout de la nuit capable twenty years later of astonishing the public as much as the 1932 novel."" Henri Godard unknown

Lettre autographe signée adressée à madame Léon Daudet
s. l.: S. n. 1905. Fine. S. n. s. l. s. d. 1905 13.50 x 21.50 cm un feuillet recto-verso Autograph letter signed by Maurice Barrès addressed to Madame Léon Daudet 39 lines in black ink on a four-page folio. Fold marks inherent to postal mailing. ""Chère madame J'avais espéré voir Léon et peut-être aussi vous-même en Provence et ce que je rêve vous faire connaître ce beau site de Mirabeau. Du moins j'y ai votre conversation écrite si claire rapide souple intéressante ces pages pas fabriquées mais jaillissantes et si aimables ! Je vois que je ne vous déplairais en vous disant que je vous apparente à celle de madame Millet. Robinel que j'ai tant lue quand j'étais enfant parce qu'elle était un des livres de notre maison et que je vous tiens pour sa cousine mais une dame de Paris auprès d'une importante fermière et puis aussi mais cette fois je vous choquerai. Je vous rapproche des livres de Michelet dont la ""mare-polémiste"" sait bien les élans et le goût. Au milieu de ses foules il a bien marqué comment l'homme d'action a besoin de la campagne française. Nul doute que vous n'ayez guère le petit malade mais comment vous a-t-il surpris si brusquement et réduit à une intervention chirurgicale dans les deux heures vous qui surveillez et qui défiez dans vos flots d'eau chaude et savonneuse les microbes farouches Excusez moi cette taquinerie que je regrettais bien profondément si je ne pensais si je n'étais pas sûr que vous êtes hors de souci. Au revoir chère madame amitiés de ma femme pour vous et pour Léon et bien respectueusement vôtre Barrès. Mirabeau jeudi."" ""Dear Madam I had hoped to see Léon and perhaps you as well in Provence and what I dream of to introduce you to that beautiful site of Mirabeau. At least I have your written conversation there so clear rapid supple interesting these pages not manufactured but springing forth and so amiable! I see that I would not displease you in saying that I relate you to that of Madame Millet. Robinel whom I read so much when I was a child because it was one of the books of our house and whom I consider you her cousin but a Parisian lady beside an important farmer's wife and then also but this time I will shock you. I bring you close to Michelet's books whose ""mare-polemicist"" well knows the impulses and taste. In the midst of his crowds he clearly marked how the man of action needs the French countryside. No doubt that you hardly have the little patient but how did he surprise you so suddenly and reduce you to surgical intervention within two hours you who monitor and defy in your streams of hot soapy water the fierce microbes Excuse me this teasing that I would deeply regret if I did not think if I were not sure that you are beyond worry. Goodbye dear madam regards from my wife to you and to Léon and most respectfully yours Barrès. Mirabeau Thursday."" S. n. unknown

Together with the latter two he was part of the École fantaisiste a collective of young poets eager to break with the Parnassians and symbolists and whose ambitions were soon to be swept away by the arrival of the Great War. Jean-Marc Bernard lost his life on the front line destroyed by a shell at the age of thirty-three. unknown

Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 1900. Fine. Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 4 juin 1900 13.80 x 21.30 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Jules Renard addressed to Gabrielle Réval. One and a half pages written in black ink on letterhead paper from ""Gloriette"" the writer's residence in Nièvre. Transverse fold lines inherent to mailing. Fine letter to this fellow writer alluding to Poil de Carotte: ""Je suis au moins aussi content que vous. Certes je n'avais pas oublié le manuscrit où Poil de Carotte était si bien compris - et aimé - j'avais oublié la signature."" ""I am at least as pleased as you are. Certainly I had not forgotten the manuscript where Poil de Carotte was so well understood - and loved - I had forgotten the signature."" He mentions Gabrielle Réval's book: ""Et tant mieux ; car j'ai lu les Sèvriennes et non le livre d'une amie de Poil de Carotte. L'auteur seul a plu le lecteur seul a été touché. Il y a de belles réussites vous le voyez madame."" ""So much the better; for I read the Sèvriennes and not the book of a friend of Poil de Carotte. The author alone pleased the reader alone was moved. There are beautiful successes you see madam."" Jules Renard already enjoyed considerable success at this time: ""Il me répugnerait de jour au vieux maître sachez pourtant que j'ai déjà reçu bien des livres écrit bien des lettres en quelle proportion par politesse je ne sais plus mais aucune ne fut plus spontanée que celle dont vous me remerciez aimablement."" ""It would repel me to play the old master know however that I have already received many books written many letters in what proportion out of politeness I no longer know but none was more spontaneous than the one for which you thank me kindly."" The highly laudatory letter alluded to here is preserved at the Jean Jaurès Media Library in Nevers and was written by Renard a few days before ours: ""Ce n'est pas l'auteur des Sévriennes que je remercie c'est vous. C'est grâce à vous que j'ai lu par cette froide fin de mai entre la première rose de mon jardin et les dernières flammes de ma cheminée un beau Livre."" ""It is not the author of the Sévriennes that I thank it is you. It is thanks to you that I read during this cold end of May between the first rose of my garden and the last flames of my fireplace a beautiful Book."" Gabrielle Réval was one of the co-founders of the Prix de la Vie heureuse which would later become the Prix Femina. unknown

Woods "To My Favorite Agent" Laura Wilk. Wilk Was A Very Well-Connected Broadway Agent At The Time. Albert Herman Woods Born Aladore Herman; 1870 -1951 Was A Hungarian-Born Theatrical Producer Who Spent Much Of His Life In The Usa. He Produced Over 140 Plays On Broadway Including Some Of The Most Successful Shows Of The Period Sometimes Under The Name Of The Production Company 'Al Woods Ltd. Woods Was Born In Budapest Hungary To A Jewish Family But His Family Brought Him To The United States As An Infant. He Grew Up On The Lower East Side Of Manhattan. As A Child He Would Skip School To Go To Theatrical Shows Where He Developed The Goal Of Becoming A Producer Himself. Woods Formed An Early Partnership With Sam H. Harris And Paddy Sullivan Running Tour Companies Of Popular Melodramas Starting With The Bowery After Dark. His First Broadway Production Was The Evil That Men Do In 1903. His Work On Broadway Escalated After The Popularity Of The Touring Melodramas Declined. Woods Had A Stable Of Favorite Playwrights Most Notably Owen Davis Who He Worked With For Several Years On Melodramas Such As Nellie The Beautiful Cloak Model. When Woods Turned To Producing Regular Broadway Shows He Focused On Bedroom Farces Starting With The Girl From Rector's In 1909. During A Trip To Europe In 1911 He Bought The Us Rights To The World's First Full-Color Feature Film The Miracle Which Eventually Premiered In New York 1913. Also In 1911 He Starting Building The Eltinge Theatre On 42Nd Street Named For One Of His Most Successful And Profitable Stars The Female Impersonator Julian Eltinge.

He Was Also Involved With The American Millionaire Joe Goldsoll In The Building Of The German Capital's First Free-Standing Purpose-Built Cinema The Ufa-Pavillon Am Nollendorfplatz. When He Became Successful Woods Continued To Emphasize His Humble Roots And Was Known For His Folksy Manner With Everyone. He Greeted Patrons At The Eltinge As "Sweetheart". Upon Being Introduced To King George V Woods Addressed The Monarch Who Was Older Than Him As "Kid" And Took The Opportunity To Promote One Of His Productions Declaring It To Be "A Regular Show". Woods Was At His Peak In The 1920S Producing Such Hits As Ladies' Night 1920 The Demi-Virgin 1921 The Green Hat 1925 The Shanghai Gesture 1926 Filmed In 1941 And The Trial Of Mary Dugan 1927. However He Lost Most Of His Fortune In The Early 1930S And Never Fully Recovered. In The 1930S His Only Major Hits Were Five Star Final 1930 And Night Of January 16Th 1935. When Woods Staged The Sheldon Davis Comedy Try And Get It In August 1943 Critics Expressed Hope That It Would Revive His Flagging Career But It Closed In Less Than A Week. It Was His Final Production. Although Woods Continued To Read Scripts And Attempt To Generate Interest He Was Unable To Stage Any Productions After 1943. He Died On April 24 1951 In His Residence At The Hotel Beacon In New York. The Once Wealthy Former Producer Ended His Life Bankrupt. After A Memorial Service Attended By Many Prominent Theater Personalities His Remains Were Cremated. Woods Produced A Number Of Bedroom Farces Which Critics And Local Authorities Often Saw As Pushing The Boundaries Of Propriety. In Several Instances Woods Encountered Legal Troubles As A Result. <br/> <br/> Samuel French hardcover

Louis ARAGON - (to Hubert JUIN)
"Je me considère pour ce qui est de ce que j'écris comme dépourvu de droit d'orienter ce qui s'écrit de moi"" • Autograph letter signed by Louis Aragon to a critic on his work
s. l. 1967. Fine. s. l. s. d. circa 1967 21 x 26.90 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Louis Aragon 11 lines plus 2 lines of postscript in blue ink addressed to a critic around 1967. Folding marks inherent to the mailing of the letter. A moving letter from the poet who in response to a biographer’s question offers his impertinent correspondent a disillusioned reflection on the poet’s right to control interpretation: ""Que vous dire Je ne puis vous conseiller dans le détail ni m'amuser à rectifier ceci ou cela. Je me considère pour ce qui est de ce que j'écris comme dépourvu de droit d'orienter ce qui s'écrit de moi ce qui n'est que de peu précéder l'époque où on ne me demandera même plus on avis."" Yet the poet protests against this institutionalisation that seems to hasten the close of his career emphasising the importance of his most recent poetic works: ""puisque vous voulez compléter votre livre n'oubliez pas que dans le temps qui s'est passé depuis que l'avez écrit il n'y a pas eu que Le Fou d'Elsa La M.à .m. La mise à mort et Blanche ou l'oubli. Mais aussi Le voyage de Hollande augmentée de quelques poèmes dans la seconde édition et l'Elégie à Pablo Neruda."" The recipient of the letter could be Hubert Juin who published an essay on Aragon with Gallimard in 1960 though the tone here seems rather abrupt for so distinguished a critic. Another work devoted to Aragon appeared around the same period: Georges Sadoul’s Aragon in the series Poètes d'aujourd'hui no. 159 Seghers 1967—but none of the titles mentioned are missing and he had not previously written a book on Aragon. Unless it was Roland Desné author of the article cited by Aragon in his postscript ""La Semaine sainte d'Aragon"" Le Français dans le monde no. 21 December 1963 pp. 41–48. unknown

Lettre autographe signée d'Edouard Drumont ""Rions un peu ! Cela distrait""
s. l. 1891. Fine. s. l. 3 avril 1891 10 x 13 cm un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by Edouard Drumont dated April 3 1891 40 lines in black ink on headed paper bearing the address ""157 rue de l'Université"" Fold inherent to postal sending. Challenged because of his radical anti-Semitic positions Drumont addresses to an abbot a singular letter on the question of dueling: ""I understand everything a priest must think about dueling and I agree with you but it is a necessity in certain cases"" Far from renouncing his opinions ""All the Jews in the world send me challenges"" the author defends himself by adopting a sarcastic position regarding dueling: ""The best way to avoid them is to declare oneself ready to accept them"". The humor that closes the letter notably through the insertion of a fictional dialogue shows all the derision with which Drumont considers his situation: ""'ah you don't fight Are you sure - quite sure. - Well! I want to fight until death ensues!' Let us laugh a little! It provides distraction."" unknown
