Pas de couverture. S. n. | Cassis 11 février 1934 | 13.50 x 21.50 cm | une feuille | Belle et amusante lettre manuscritesignée de Roger Martin du Gard adressée depuis Cassis à Alice Rim (38 lignes à l'encre noire) dans laquelle il fait montre de tout son insatiable appétence pour les friandises. Trace de pliure inhérente à la mise sous pli. "Cassis. 11 février 34, Chère Madame, un certain Carlo, Virgule, - dont vous connaissez le culot infernal - a eu le toupet de se présenter seul (mot souligné) à Cassis ! (Je dois dire qu'il avait eu conscience de la déception qu'il allait causer, et qu'il arrivait les bras chargés de fastueux sacs de bonbons fondants et de dattes fourrées, du plus délicat faiseur) Si quelque chose aurait pu nous consoler de votre absence, c'est bien ce chargement de friandises choisies. L'intention était si gentille, que nous n'avons pas osé lui tenir rigueur de son veuvage, et que nous lui avons dissimulé de notre mieux la mélancolie de nos regrets. Je suis un peu confus de jouer ce rôle de vieille coquette qu'on gâte en la bourrant de pralines ; mais "un peu seulement", car la gourmandise l'emporte vite sur les sentiments de dignité que l'âge a fortement émoussés. Et ledit Carlo m'a promis, en compensation, qu'avant la fin du carnaval - si d'ici là, le ciel ne nous est pas tombé sur la tête - vous viendriez tous les deux revoir Cassis, et y faire un plus long séjour que la météorique apparition de ce soir. (Je croirais presque que j'ai rêvé, si ma chambre ne sentait pas la pistache et la vanille, et si mes paperasses n'avaient pas ce soir pour presse-papier cet imposant sac de confiseur.) Que du moins les Charentes vous soient douces, chère madame ! Je vous y adresse, avec mes hommages fidèles, mille voeux de joyeux mardi gras ! Roger Martin du Gard". | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Beautiful and amusing signed manuscript letter from Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Cassis to Alice Rim (38 lines in black ink) in which he displays all his insatiable appetite for sweets. Fold mark inherent to postal mailing. "Cassis. February 11th, 34, Dear Madam, a certain Carlo, Comma, - whose infernal nerve you know - had the audacity to present himself alone (word underlined) in Cassis! (I must say that he had been conscious of the disappointment he was going to cause, and that he arrived with his arms loaded with sumptuous bags of fondant sweets and stuffed dates, from the most delicate confectioner) If anything could have consoled us for your absence, it was indeed this cargo of choice delicacies. The intention was so kind, that we did not dare reproach him for his widowhood, and that we concealed as best we could the melancholy of our regrets. I am a little ashamed to play this role of an old coquette whom one spoils by stuffing her with pralines; but "only a little," for gluttony quickly prevails over feelings of dignity that age has greatly dulled. And the said Carlo promised me, in compensation, that before the end of carnival - if by then, the sky has not fallen on our heads - you would both come to see Cassis again, and stay longer than tonight's meteoric appearance. (I would almost believe I dreamed it, if my room did not smell of pistachio and vanilla, and if my papers did not have this imposing confectioner's bag as a paperweight tonight.) May at least the Charentes be gentle to you, dear madam! I send you there, with my faithful respects, a thousand wishes for a joyful Fat Tuesday! Roger Martin du Gard". *.
