Lot no. 217
André SUARÈS (1868-1948). L.A.S. "S", Paris 17 February 1933, to draughtsman Édouard Chimot 3 pages in-4 in red ink, envelope. For his collection, in trying to classify the plates his "dear Chim" had given him, he was very surprised and disappointed to see that his copy on Japon, received in June 1930, which he had not opened, was incomplete "with almost all the plates: 27 out of 35 are missing. [...] the copy printed in my name and signed by you. You must admit that this is harsh, and even a little too strong. I'm revolted"... Did he steal the plates or was it a mistake? He knows that Chimot will be even angrier than he is...". It is too unjust that the writer should be deprived, he alone, of all people, of his property. Please, my dear Chim, see to it that I get back what is due to me"...
