Jacques COPEAU. L.A.S., Pernand-Vergelesses April 9, 1931, to Charles Salomon; 1 1/2 pages in-8, vignette (slight foxing).
To the translator of Tolstoy. "You were not mistaken in thinking that Leskov would appeal to me. It's a magnificent tale, and beautifully translated it seems to me, which touches me to the core. [...] I haven't yet read the other brochures, but I will soon. I can't tell you enough how moved and happy I was to meet you again. I will keep a special memory of those hours when you were so good at making me feel the fidelity of your feelings and their quality. Nothing is sweeter for the mature man around whom so much has withered, than to find a living heart, even if it's a little torn. And you have kept, dear friend, a smile and a warmth that speak volumes about your inner life"...
We enclose 2 L.A.S.: October 23, 1933, to Maurice Martin du Gard, who offered Copeau the dramatic criticism position at Nouvelles Littéraires, which Copeau hesitated to accept; August 17, 1934, to Georges Spanelly, concerning his commitment to Shakespeare's Rosalinde ou comme il vous plaira. Plus a bill a.s.; and the program for the April 14, 1932 benefit for the Sainte Baume, with Copeau, Claire Croiza and Jean Doyen.
