Autograph letter signed (22 lines in black ink on Echo de Paris letterhead) from the illustrator and caricaturist Sennep, addressed to his friend the Provençal writer, caricaturist and filmmaker Carlo Rim announcing his sudden departure from Paris and postponing the project that was to bring them together: "Mon cher Carlo Rim, je reçois votre petit mot. Vous savez que je compte sur cet échange dont je vous avais parlé, et que vous aviez bien voulu accepter. Malheureusement, je quitte Paris demain matin, et je ne sais pas exactement quand je repasserai par la capitale. Mais je vous ferai signe, à tout hasard quand je viendrai. Bien amicalement. J. Sennep." ["My dear Carlo Rim, I received your little note. You know that I am counting on this exchange I spoke to you about, and which you were kind enough to accept. Unfortunately, I am leaving Paris tomorrow morning, and I don't know exactly when I will pass through the capital again. But I will let you know, just in case when I come. Yours truly. J. Sennep."] Fold inherent to the mailing, trace of a rusty paper clip at the head of the verso of the letter affecting, without severity, two letters at the end of two words. Carlo Rim was a Provençal writer, author of "Ma belle Marseille", a caricaturist, a filmmaker and was notably the friend of Fernandel, Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary.
