Roger MARTIN DU GARD (1881-1958). L.A.S. "R", Nice November 6, 1949, to Noel Margaritis; 2pages in-8. Jacques Copeau's funeral. Roger Martin du Gard recalls for his friend (widow of his close friend, the musician Pierre Margaritis, and mother of Gilles) the last months of Copeau's very diminished life, and their last exchanges, which had become difficult: "It was more painful for me than knowing he was dead, and after a very gentle and unconscious agony, which was unhoped-for in his condition. The ceremony there was very simple, very touching. Very few people. No stars, nothing official"... The trip to Pernand brought back many memories... A tribute will be paid to Copeau at the Théâtre Marigny. Finally, he recalls the memory of Suzanne Bing (Copeau's companion)...
