Long letter from the author : " To dear Pierre Lhoste, so // clear of heart, so straight // in his intelligence. // In homage, // since your dear sister // is far away filled with light // and happiness, here is another // little sister, with her lukewarm hand, holding your hand / ... to guide you among the // riches of MONTSOURIS ! // This was her universe that held // all in her child's heart // with its sad and fearsome shadows // its grating "fortifications" with its park // for relaxation and wonder // - with its furtive apaches, those // of the Icebox! and the kids of the // park proud as kings when // they are carriage-bound in the // goat carriage. // with its lovers who will remain // the same until the end // of the world." On the facing sheet, she added: "Dear Pierre Lhoste, // She would have given you her // confidence. The tender and fearful // little girl of Montsouris. // ...as does now // your weak old friend Louise Hervieu." - The "Crime". Paris : Éditions Denoël, [1937]. - In-12, paperback.

Long sending from Louis Hervieu : " This modest copy is // the one that was printed for // Louise, that is to say for // her friends. // And among them, my // little Pierre Lhostes, you // are served one of the last ones ! // However you are very // close to my heart and // sometimes you seem to me // like a son... // You have so often // lifted my courage. May // so much youthful faith be returned to you // in thanksgiving // of state! // Using the power of // her friends, she who does not know // how to keep herself will // perhaps save others! // Pierre you are of these // friends that she blesses and // that she cherishes... // From my heart touched to // your heart that I know! // My little Pierre Lhostes, // I make Homage of this // hymn of the Pain which // ends on a call of hope! // (OUR CRIME to all) // It is here the revolt of the weak! // So that they do not give in to // despair, that they are not trampled. This is the prayer of your old Louise // with // her conjuration // For the innocent ones whom we have // burdened with evils and who suffer // and accuse us: For the // wretches we have // made what they are! They don't want // charity anymore! They cry // for justice, they demand reparation." - [GRÉCO (Juliette)]. Faces. Paris : O.E.T., 1937. - In-16, paperback.
