"Pliée en deux. Vous l'avez malmener. Je ne la signe pas - ni je vous l'envoie"

Manuscript letter dated and signed by Léonor Fini, 22 lines in black ink addressed to Gérard Leman from her Parisian residence.
Fold marks inherent to postal dispatch, envelope included.
Gérard Leman wishes the artist to dedicate a photograph he sent her, but Leonor Fini is not pleased with the poor treatment her portrait has suffered: "Mais - mais - mais -vous monsieur vous m'envoyez aussi une photographie (belle à à signer et dédicacer. Pour cette photographie vous ne vous êtes même pas donné le peine de chercher une enveloppe longue ou plus grande. Pliée en deux. Vous l'avez malmener. Je ne la signe pas - ni je vous l'envoie." (But - but - but - you sir, you also send me a photograph (beautiful to sign and dedicate. For this photograph you didn't even take the trouble to look for a long or larger envelope. Folded in two. You have mistreated it. I won't sign it - nor will I send it to you.)
She is also angered by a dealer from Lille who didn't even take the precaution of keeping her informed about an exhibition of her works for commercial purposes: "Je la ferai photographier et je l'enverrai à ce monsieur brocanteur déguisé en marchand. Je sais qu'il m'a exposé à Lille sans même m'en avertir." (I will have it photographed and I will send it to this gentleman dealer disguised as a merchant. I know he exhibited me in Lille without even warning me.)
