Max JACOB. L.A.S., "Presbytère de St Benoit s/Loire" October 28, 1921, to Robert Émile-Paul; 2pages in-8, stamped envelope. He thanks his "earthly Providence which is the instrument of the other" for sending 500 francs. It's time to think about Terrain Bouchaballe, and he'd like to take advantage of his time in Paris to do the press service. "It's starting to get very cold here, but the advantages of solitude make up for the Loire wind, which is violent and icy, and the darkness of a village without streetlamps. Everything rather than the disorder and madness of artistic life in Paris. [...] At the hotel where I now take my meals, I have the echo of the world from the commercial travelers: it seems that 'things' are picking up everywhere, despite new price hikes and despite the 'textile' strikes"... He greets the "noble and sympathetic" André Suarès... Attached is an a.s. visiting card from Gaston Gallimard, thanking him for Terrain Bouchaballe.
