Autograph Letter Signed, 2 pages, in French, on one 4to sheet of personalized stationery, Paris, September 13, 1932. It is most like likely that the film Clair references here is his, "A Nous La Liberte", released in the year of this letter, 1932.

Clair begins the letter with a self deprecating paragraph for either replying twice to Auric's letter or not responding at all. The letter refers to payment for the music. "After accusing them of having done nothing to promote our music or launch our songs, I pretended that they alone were responsible for a situation which is at least as bad for them as ti is for us.you and I would certainly agree.that [Max} Eshig [music publisher] agree to pay us a 2,000 franc premium for each edited tune as mentioned in our contracts. And since there are still twenty to thirty pieces to . the conversation did not go any further." Clair signs in full, "Rene Clair." Condition: Two tears at first horizontal fold and slight hole in lower margin fold. With translation. c. Seller Inventory # 4980
