Paul LÉAUTAUD (1872-1956). L.A.S., Paris March 2, 1939, to Maurice Sachs; 1page in-8 on Mercure de France letterhead, envelope. Sachs having written to him: "I'd rather you didn't love me", Léautaud replies: "That's narcissism in reverse. I wrote to you once, on the contrary, that I liked you very much, and I don't think I ever showed you any antipathy. On the Freud question, you have your opinion, I have mine. There are probably many others"... On the subject of Charles Dullin, he was indignant at "the way this ham dared to touch the Marriage of Figaro", and "the fiddling that is fashionable in the theater today. [...] As for what you tell me about another way of life, another character I'd have, other loves that would have occupied me, another happiness I'd have had, etc. etc., yes, yes and yes... it's all empty literature. If you're interested in knowing, I'd like you to know that I didn't miss a thing"...
