Autograph letter signed by Jean Anouilh addressed to the Provençal writer, caricaturist and filmmaker Carlo Rim who was notably the friend of Fernandel, Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of André Salmon and Max Jacob (37 lines in blue ink) from his chalet in Chesières-sur-Ollon in Switzerland.
Two letters and one word having smudged: the "C" of dear Carlo Rim, the "L'" of the intermission and, just above the word "avec"
Jean Anouilh warmly thanks Carlo Rim who intervened in favor of his son-in-law, Alain Tesler, so that he would join the staff of the Marseillais filmmaker. He nevertheless recommends not to spare him, a way for Jean Anouilh to exorcise his thorny role as father-in-law:
"Les Ecovets Chesières-sur-Ollon
Dear Carlo Rim,
thank you for your kindness. I am sure that you will be pleased with him and the best service you can render him, him and me, is to keep him busy hard (word underlined). It's because of the "loafer" side of second assistant directors that I advised him against this phantom position he has already occupied. He (illegible word) well to direct but I maintain that it's as if one wanted to become a pretty woman and be kept and it's me who pushes him toward production with the worried feeling for the future of a Labiche father-in-law, which I took on with a jacket, on the wedding day... Dear Carlo Rim, if you have a daughter make her a nun, the role of father-in-law makes one stupid. Most affectionately yours. Thanks again and see you soon, (I'm struggling here with a damn play and don't dare return before the intermission for fear of being cut off forever.) We will fictitiously decorate Barsacq. Jean Anouilh."

Autograph letter signed by Jean Anouilh addressed to the Provençal writer, caricaturist and filmmaker Carlo Rim who was notably the friend of Fernandel, Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of André Salmon and Max Jacob (22 lines in blue ink).
"Dear Carlo Rim,
I am leaving Paris without having managed to telephone you. I am going to ask you a small thing that would give me great pleasure. I have an old friend, daughter of an even older friend Odette Talazac whom you knew. Georgette Talazac who is the ex-wife of Jonatte from the Opera is in trouble. She is stout, comical, shrewd (45 years old). I help her get extra work when I can (she can speak but prefers to appear several times without speaking rather than say one line and disappear...) Try to give her extra work with you, you would oblige me greatly. Thank you in advance. Yours sympathetically while awaiting another legion of men that will succeed for us! Jean Anouilh. Georgette Talazac 13 bd Malsherbes (sic) Paris."
