You know, don´t you, that I am and will remain your attentive reader and conscious of the relativity of any judgement.´ Accompanied by the original envelope. Together with T.L. to Albert Camus, by his correspondent Roger Ikor, with few lines autograph, four pages, 4to, La Frette, Cormeilles en Parisis, 8th June 1958, in French.
