1934ref. 80737Cassis: S. n. 1934. Fine. S. n. Cassis 11 février 1934 13.50 x 21.50 cm une feuille Beautiful and amusing signed manuscript letter from Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Cassis to Alice Rim 38 lines in black ink in which he displays all his insatiable appetite for sweets. Fold mark inherent to postal mailing. ""Cassis. February 11th 34 Dear Madam a certain Carlo Comma - whose infernal nerve you know - had the audacity to present himself alone word underlined in Cassis! I must say that he had been conscious of the disappointment he was going to cause and that he arrived with his arms loaded with sumptuous bags of fondant sweets and stuffed dates from the most delicate confectioner If anything could have consoled us for your absence it was indeed this cargo of choice delicacies. The intention was so kind that we did not dare reproach him for his widowhood and that we concealed as best we could the melancholy of our regrets. I am a little ashamed to play this role of an old coquette whom one spoils by stuffing her with pralines; but ""only a little"" for gluttony quickly prevails over feelings of dignity that age has greatly dulled. And the said Carlo promised me in compensation that before the end of carnival - if by then the sky has not fallen on our heads - you would both come to see Cassis again and stay longer than tonight's meteoric appearance. I would almost believe I dreamed it if my room did not smell of pistachio and vanilla and if my papers did not have this imposing confectioner's bag as a paperweight tonight. May at least the Charentes be gentle to you dear madam! I send you there with my faithful respects a thousand wishes for a joyful Fat Tuesday! Roger Martin du Gard"". S. n. unknown

C'est le beau clair et silencieux Cassis authentique où rien ne gêne le travail."" ""No more cars no more dust no more phonographs no more sirens between two waves. This is the beautiful clear and silent authentic Cassis where nothing disturbs work.""and the pleasure of reading ""Voilà"" a magazine in which Carlo Rim collaborates as an illustrator: "". pas un moucheron de Cassis qui ne s'imagine avoir collaboré avec Carlo Rim et son livre sera ici une oeuvre collective nationale.""
