" ... ce livre fait honneur à l'édition arrageoise..."

Laudatory autograph letter dated and signed by Pierre Mac Orlan (15 lines in blue ink) to his young friend the beginning poet Roger Valuet who has just sent him his collection of poems Embruns: "... le livre est très bien présenté, avec soin et goût. Vous pouvez féliciter le metteur en pages et l'imprimeur." ["... the book is very well presented, with care and taste. You can congratulate the typesetter and the printer."]
He provides him with the addresses of his friends Francis Carco, Roland Dorgelès and Léonce Peillard so that they too might receive their copies of Embruns in order to better publicize and distribute this work.
Fold marks inherent to being placed in an envelope.
A native of Arras, Roger Valuet was a popular writer who signed, under the pseudonym Roger Vilard, numerous detective and espionage novels. At the beginning of his career, he was helped by Pierre Mac Orlan who wrote the preface to his first collection of poems.
