Paris 8 Novembre 1949 13.50 x 20 cm quatre pages sur deux feuillets Autograph letter dated and signed by Jean Hélion addressed to Raymond Queneau 41 lines four pages on two leaves written in black ink. Jean Hélion cannot respond favorably to an invitation extended by his friend Raymond Queneau partly due to his homebody nature: ""J'ai pris l'habitude de rester chez nous le samedi après-midi : à l'atelier jusqu'à 5 heures et là-haut jusqu'à l'heure du dîner pour y recevoit toutes sortes de jeunes gens que je n'ai pas le temps de voir un par un. Mais j'aimerais davantage vous montrer à vous seul un peu tranquille et à n'importe quelle heure. Ne passez-vous jamais de ce côté "" ""I have gotten into the habit of staying at home on Saturday afternoons: at the studio until 5 o'clock and upstairs until dinner time to receive all sorts of young people whom I don't have time to see one by one. But I would prefer to show you alone a bit quietly and at any time. Don't you ever come by this way"" He worries about the political path of one of their mutual friends the pacifist militant Garry Davis who created in 1948 the World Citizens movement and in 1954 the World Service Authority organization: ""Je m'occupe encore de ce bon Garry Davis qui s'engage maintenant dans la non-violence mais d'une façon qui pourrait être violente. Breton a tapé dessus comme sur des cymbales. Mais moi par amitié autant que pour une confiance dans sa force instinctive je l'aiderai tant que possible. Il veut encore consulter ses amis et il en a grand besoin. Camus Mounier Altman l'abbé Pierre et quelques autres lui sont demeurés dévoués."" ""I'm still taking care of that good Garry Davis who is now engaging in non-violence but in a way that could be violent. Breton struck out at him like cymbals. But I out of friendship as much as for confidence in his instinctive strength will help him as much as possible. He still wants to consult his friends and he has great need of it. Camus Mounier Altman Abbé Pierre and some others have remained devoted to him."" unknown
