Lettre autographe signée à Henri Petit "Tout réapprendre, et tout recommencer, mais dans une autre vérité"

Letter autograph signed by Louis Guilloux addressed to Henri Petit, two pages on a slip, 56 lines in black ink.
Folds inherent to the enveloping.
Letter full of poetic empathy addressed to Henri Petit, introduced by an admission of failure of writing in the face of the misfortunes of which his interlocutor is struck: " I can not write to you; all that I would like to say to you, I can not find it in words, and for many things that could be said, I wonder if we should not wait a little longer . "
Guilloux's compassion for his companion follows the philosophical reflections of the author on the throes of life, still inhabited by the memory of his late friend Edmond Lambert: " You have entered the painful but fruitful life. All relearning, and all over again but in another truth [...] There is always somewhere a light. You have to know how to discover it. In writing this, I am still thinking of the last message of Lambert, this quotation from underlined Shakespeare, this "let us do" admirable, from which only, can be born this light of which I spoke to you. "
