Description
Letter from André Breton to René Laporte dated 11 December 1951. December 1951: as the end of the year approaches, Breton takes the opportunity to do his accounts, especially his dealings with the Sagittaire publishing house, whose affairs are quite muddled. He methodically reminds Jérôme Lindon and René Laporte about the figures and agreements he would like to be respected more accurately. A letter to Gaston Gallimard follows, showing how difficult Breton was finding it to get attention at Éditions Gallimard on rue Sébastien-Bottin. [Atelier André Breton website, 2005]
