Paul MORAND (1888-1976). L.A.S. with drawing, and autograph poem signed, Hendaye July 24 and 29, 1921, to Valentine HUGO; 1 page small in-8 (postcard) and 1 page oblong in-8, envelopes (small pinholes with traces of rust). On the back of a postcard showing him in a bathing suit on the beach: "Dear Val, why don't you give other signs than death? Are you on earth? You will proclaim this incredible photo very Borlin. I was caught just as I was watching the sun in its efforts to break through the clouds, without success, as it's been raining since July 14." He'll be in Paris on August 1 and hopes she'll let him know. "Cards from Irène, Radiguet, Jean, who left Paris rather depressed, doesn't seem to be getting back on track"... Drawing showing him diving into the sea.The poem, in 16 free lines, bears the title Les travailleurs de la mer, and is dedicated "to Valentine Hugo"; it does not appear to have been published: "The sea is a singular enterprise its impermeable algae, its shells and its curly stairs to the beach"...
