Roger PEYREFITTE. 5 L.A.S., Paris August-October 1973, to a "young friend" poet, Yvon Conéjéro; 8 pages and a half in-8, envelopes. Beautiful set relating to the particular Friendships, and to the model of Alexandre Motier. July 15. Thanks for the charming volume of verse. "I hope you appreciate your chance to be a poet. Stay that way! Your whole life will be changed by it. I am touched that you propose me to go to the tomb of "Alexandre"... The grave is not in Sète but had to be transported to Béziers, "where the family of this young boy had gone to live"; and he gives the name of Georges Guéret, who committed suicide in 1922 or 1923: "It is, indeed, by a kind of "transubstantiation" (what a word!) that I gave the name of Georges to the "other""...

He knew that Georges Guéret's father was a doctor, and that he was a poet. "His eldest son ("Maurice") was reading, as a student, superb editions of his poems, certainly printed on a commission basis, and whose text had seemed to me to be as smoky as that of the other Sétois, Paul Valéry"... If "Maurice", whose real first name he forgets, had been alive at the time of the publication of the book, he would have recognized himself, "he would have written me"... September 23. He points out, "as if to a personal friend of the Amitiés particulières", that on October 2, at the "Dossiers de l'écran", "the ORTF is going to show the film drawn by Delannoy from my book"... 8 [October, after the banning of the film]: "Yes! dear poet, the Tartufes are vigilant!
