" "Imaginez que G.G. ne garde ni Blanchot, ni Noël Devaulx, ni... ni... Au fond G.G. devient Hachette et toute l'expérience de la (jeune) nrf est à recommencer

Autograph postcard signed by Jean Paulhan, 22 lines written in black ink addressed to Felia Leal the publisher of "Paroles transparentes", a work by Jean Paulhan decorated with 14 original lithographs by Georges Braque.
Central fold mark on the card which represents the painting by Georges Braque entitled: Cliffs and Boat.
Jean Paulhan asks for news of his correspondent: "Are you completely cured? What if it were me instead who came to your place?" and is amazed by the smallness of Parisian taxis: "These taxis for dwarf people are dreadful..."
From the narrowness of taxis, Jean Paulhan shifts to Gallimard's editorial timidity: "Imagine that G.G. keeps neither Blanchot, nor Noël Devaulx, nor... nor... [...] Basically G.G. is becoming Hachette and all the experience of the (young) nrf has to start over."
