"Nous avons reçu aussi une lettre très gentille et très affectueuse de Mme jeune Gen Paul."

Autograph letter from Louis-Ferdinand Céline addressed to his lawyer Maître Thorvald Mikkelsen. Two pages written in blue ink on a large sheet of white paper; number "569" in Céline's hand in red pencil at top left.
Transverse folds inherent to mailing.
This letter was very partially transcribed in L'Année Céline 2005.
"Our admirable Bourdemer's prescription will be followed to the letter. We're going to stuff ourselves with vitamins in such a way that we'll grow younger by 20 years, at least!" Céline had made the acquaintance of this "admirable" French doctor in Copenhagen, through his lawyer. This letter also mentions the wife of painter Gen Paul: "We also received a very kind and very affectionate letter from the young Mrs. Gen Paul. The mystery therefore remains complete...despite everything, I still think of a little 'reconnaissance mission'... No importance anyway! All the better even!" In early November 1950, Gaby Paul had come to visit Céline and Lucette at Klarskovgaard.
