TLS in French, one page, 8.25 x 11.75, 'La Colline' letterhead, December 6, 1973. Letter to San Lazzaro, his book publisher, in full (translated): “Forgive me for replying so late, but I had to go to Switzerland, where a Chagall room has opened in the Museum in Zurich. It wasn't too tiring and was done with great kindness, which touched me deeply. You are writing to me about the book ‘Chagall Illustrator.’ Of course, I know this idea came from me. But, after reflection, I think it's not right. As much as Chagall Monumental was a success, I don't see Chagall Illustrator being a success. We should meet and discuss this project face to face. You know that I love you and appreciate your work, but regarding this book, it seems essential that we discuss it at length. Please accept, dear San Lazzaro, my best regards.’ In fine condition.
