COCTEAU JEAN (1889-1963).
L.A.S. to Walter Berry, American friend of Marcel Proust. 1 large page in-4° on wove paper. "Welcome Hôtel, Villefranche sur mer" 1924. Cocteau evokes his work, his plays "Antigone" and "Orphée", and his faithful friendship with Berry: "My dearest friend, I have telegraphed Mrs. S. Antigone is presently unplayable without my presence. Moreover, the only exact text is at the printing house. Your writing has given me great pleasure. Every time I turn to the "Indian" I think of our lunches where wonderful journeys suddenly seem possible. I have seen Martha Hyde. She will tell you my color. I worked with Stravinsky, it is difficult to remain inactive. I have finally been able to write the "Orpheus" that I have been thinking about and working on for four years. I can't wait to show it to you, because I keep a unique place for you among all of them - and the more I advance, the deeper this place is. I embrace you. Jean." Autograph envelope attached.
