Nous avons donc mis une année à faire lever cette interdiction; Nous avons même crû, un moment, que ces dé marches resteraient vaines tellement l'Administration francaises est compliquée, et, au dernier moment, entre la signature de l'arrêté et sa parution dans le Journal Official, le Premier Ministre a failli faire barrage à cette autorisation, car il désirait encore lire le livre. Le Directeur de la Réglementation du Ministère de l'Intérieur, lui a alors fait comprendre que la Direction Générale des Arts et des Lettres avait fait un rapport extrèmement favorable et qu'il s'agissait d'une oeuvre ayant une portée littéraire formidable. Là-dessus, Le Ministre a quand mê me voulu lire l'ouvrage et le Directeur de La Réglementation lui a ré tourqué: 'Vous savez, cet ouvrage contient 666 pages'. Le Ministre a alors été découragé, et l'autorisation a pu passer. Nous avons donc vécu un suspence jusqu'au bout, alors que 'Sexus' était dé jà tiré. Je suis personnellement très heureux que 'La Crucifixion en Rose' ne soit plus mutilée, et nous avons tous éprouvé une grande joie, à relire 'Sexus' qui est un trés grand livre [.,.]".

At this moment a Japanese publisher[.,.] is bringing out the Grossman edition in Japanese, with additional water colors and we, trust, corrected color values [.,.] I could not send you additional water colors -- too much bother, too much risk of loss or damage, and besides, I own now very very few; my friends own the bulk of my work.[.,.] I didn't know you had republished the Big Sur book and Aller Retour too. Does the later sell well?.,.".
