Lettre dactylographiée signée adressée à son grand ami Carlo Rim à en-tête de son théâtre de l'Athénée

Typed letter signed by Louis Jouvet addressed, on letterhead from his Athénée theater, to his great friend Carlo Rim, expressing joy and reassurance at receiving news from him: "What are you doing so far from me in Sanary? I had no more news from you, which made me confide to Charles that you must have disowned me, or that at least you were ashamed when thinking of me." He also mentions his state as a caregiver being at the bedside of his suffering wife. Finally, Louis Jouvet questions the silence of Carlo Rim's wife and son, from which he seems to suffer: "You tell me nothing about the bambino nor his mother: would you have disowned them too? or could it be that they would be them (word added by hand by Louis Jouvet) angry with me?"
