Lettre autographe signée inédite adressée à Michel Fardoulis-Lagrange : "Dites-moi : IIIe Convoi ne nous a tout de même pas habitués à cette allure ! "

Unpublished autograph letter signed by André Breton addressed to Michel Fardoulis-Lagrange, written in black ink on a sheet with letterhead of the International Surrealist Exhibition 1947. Envelope included. Transverse folds inherent to mailing.
Interesting letter evoking the review Troisième Convoi founded by Jean Maquet and Michel Fardoulis-Lagrange, written shortly before the second surrealist exhibition at the Maeght gallery: "Dites-moi : IIIe Convoi ne nous a tout de même pas habitués à cette allure ! " ["Tell me: IIIe Convoi has not exactly accustomed us to this pace!"]. The review, whose title was inspired by Vases communicants ( "Nous, voyageurs du second convoi." ["We, travelers of the second convoy"]), had five issues between 1945 and 1951. We have found no trace of Breton's collaboration with this review, but the letter we offer demonstrates that it may have been discussed: "Et vous savez que je reste en assez mauvaise condition, avec cette séquelle de sinusite. [...] Il me faudrait aussi être un peu plus éclairé peut-être sur l'axe de votre quatrième numéro (pour ne pas partir à côté ou faire malgré moi trop divergent). Ne pensez-vous pas ?" ["And you know that I remain in rather poor condition, with this sequel of sinusitis. [...] I would also need to be perhaps a little more enlightened about the direction of your fourth issue (so as not to go off track or despite myself be too divergent). Don't you think?"]
