Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE. L.A.S. "LF Destouches" and 2 autograph notes, with an autograph envelope to Lucien Descaves; half-page in-4, and 2pages oblong in-8. The envelope bears the letterhead of the Palace Hotel, Prague, and the postmark of 19.VI.1933. The notes, probably additions to a typescript, must date from around the same time: "Or I don't know any more. It's worth fifteen defeats at Verdun! in my opinion!" "Because any sanitary ame[lioration?] from a certain point easily enough reached (protection against major epidemics) is hindered almost definitively by all the economic, commercial, traditional, religious forces, which dominate, rule the community, hearts, bodies, trade, budget. To sum up this long preamble". The letter, in blue pen, dated September 10, is later: "My dear Friend Everything I own! a photo by Paraz! he was a cliché fanatic!"...
