"Enfin ! Considérant l'objet fermé, disons-nous qu'il n'y a plus qu'à attendre les événements..."

Autograph letter signed by André Breton addressed to Jean Schuster; one page written in black ink on a double sheet of white paper. Envelope included.
The writing of this letter coincides with the publication date of the very first issue of the journal Le Surréalisme même: "At last! Considering the closed object, let us say that there is nothing left but to await events..." Breton, then at his house in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, plans to return to Paris for this occasion: "This was necessary - and the great cold of the morning - to bring us back to Paris: we will be there Friday and I will stop by the Musset in the evening."
Jean Schuster (1929-1995) joined the Surrealist group in 1947. Close to Benjamin Péret and André Breton, he would become the latter's literary executor.
