François MAURIAC. L.A.S., [Paris November 30, 1926], to Marshal LYAUTEY, 1 page in-8 at his address, address on back. He is astonished by the Marshal's reaction to his article on BARRÈS: "I had the feeling that I had hit the bull's eye of boredom at the first attempt! The tone of the house had imposed itself on me to the point that I was unable to reread myself to the end and that the paper "fell out of my hands", as usual"... He was happy to accept his invitation and to hear him speak about Barrès; his wife accompanied him: "It is a being that God created expressly for me, who understands me, who knows me, who does not demand that I be someone other than myself. A story I published last month in the Revue des deux mondes made the people of the world believe that we were not happy. But we both laugh about it"...
