Louise de VILMORIN (1902-1969). L.A.S. "Louise", Pudmerice (Slovakia) August 15, 1939, to Maurice Sachs; 2pages in-4 on blue paper addressed to her. She has read his book [Au temps du Bœuf sur le Toit]: "I found it very good and very amusing. And I know all about it since I never read. [...] Your book is also quite impressive. At the time you describe, I still only knew the Vilmorin family, but through newspapers and pictures, we heard about all those famous people you speak of in the past tense, or as if in the past. Later, I got to know some of them. And now, reading you, I wonder if they weren't already dead when I met them. She fled Verrières and family life "to spend the end of Summer (funny word) at the foot of the Little Carpathians. Great landscape, great solitude where there's no question of getting emotional. Sometimes I play my guitar, and think of the evenings at Gaston Gallimard's!" She saw Malraux again at the Vouillemont bar: "Here's one I'll always love"... We enclose 2 L.A.S. from Bertrand Lefèvre-Pontalis to Maurice Sachs, January 9 and 11, 1940 (2p. and a half in-4, one envelope), friendly letters, recounting his meeting in Caen with "le petit Caloub"...
