Letter and autograph manuscripts, Prangins Thursday [1939], to MADAME JEAN VOILIER| 4 pages in-12, on 2 cards on the letterhead of the Prieuré de Promenthoux, Prangins.
Letter to his mistress.
He is staying at the Béghin's where he met the former owner of the castle of Béduer that Jean Voilier has just acquired: "He speaks of the family's castles and finally mentions, in brackets and carelessly, the sale of Béduer, without specifying the name of the purchaser. I was waiting. But nothing came. He attached an amusing manuscript entitled Sermon for the
Caresme d'amour, a pastiche of Bossuet evoking the condition of "these women of our time, free and wealthy, beautiful, and no less bold than beautiful, who are intoxicated by the speed of their chariots, by the variety of their desires, by the ease with which they find to satisfy them, in an age marvellously made for them, which has unleashed them" ...
Two typed letters (with envelopes) are attached, one evoking the absence and the image of his lover, the other announcing his departure for
Prangins with this autographed addition: "No time to finish a small watercolour intended for you".
