Original manuscript letter of artist Jan Wiegers (1893-1959) to the writer A.M. de Jong. Total size: 17,5 x 12,5 cm. In the letter Wiegers thanks De Jong for the Sinterklaas parcel which was the novel of the Danish writer Jens Peter Jacobson dd 1880 "Niels Lyhne". He further refers to the book of De Jong Bulletje en Boonestaak, with which he became very famous. Wiegers mentions that Frans is always laughing when he reads the comic. Apparently De Jong was a guest in the house of Wiegers in Groningen (H.W. Mesdagplein 15).[NL] Jan Wiegers (1893-1959) was een Nederlands expressionistisch schilder, een van de oprichters in 1918 van De Ploeg in Groningen. Wiegers woonde in Groningen met zijn vrouw en met Jet. A.M. de Jong (1888-1943) was een Nederlands schrijver, onder meer van de strip Bulletje en Boonestaak. Deze strip wordt momenteel als een klassieker beschouwd, zowel wegens de gedurfde tekeningen als de controversi�le onderwerpen van De Jong. De Jong werd als represaille voor de moord op een aantal NSB-ers in 1943 vermoord door de Nederlandse SS-ers, een zogenaamde Silbertanne-actie (Actie Zilverspar). Er is tegenwoordig een A.M. de Jongmuseum in Nieuw Vossemeer.��.
