Jean ANOUILH. L.A.S., to Jean-Jacques Gautier; 1page in-fol. [Anouilh's friend and collaborator, Roland Pietri (who helped direct most of his plays), was hospitalized in Créteil, at the same time as Jean-Jacques Gautier, the drama critic for Le Figaro]. Anouilh thanks Gautier for his "little message of friendship [...] I have lived with poor Pietri through days of great anguish [...] I thought he would never recover... [...] You were two comrades wounded in the same battle, and I wanted to tell you that I was thinking fraternally of you too, quite simply [...]....] The three of us will soon return to the theater front - where sometimes the hazards of a skirmish pit us against each other, but where we pursue, with the same love, the same fight"... Enclosed: - program for L'Hermine, Théâtre de l'Œuvre, 1932; - program for La Sauvage, Mathurins 1938, directed by Georges Pitoëff; typescript of Jean Anouilh's text, read by François Périer at André Brunot's farewell party at the Comédie-Française (2p. in-fol.).
