Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE (1894-1961). L.A.S. "Destouches", Meudon November 20, 1954, to Dr. Blouët in Troyes; 2 1/2 pages in-4 with his ink stamp at the top, envelope. He thanks him for his "providential support with the Commission Contentieux! I'm going to steal from my comptroller so that he can certify that I own nothing of nothing! and earn nothing of nothing! 2500fr this year! Between you and me, I don't think that given the ferocious boycott that I'm undergoing (literature and medicine) that the situation will improve much next year! This humanity needs cursed people. I fit the bill admirably!"... He hopes for Retirement: "a 'damned' on Retirement, even if mutilated 75%, is still a kind of spoiled brat... eh, damn if I'm going to complain!". He invites his colleague to come and see him in Meudon: "I'm always there, I'm never away, ready to receive customers"...
