Lettre autographe signée adressée à Marco Ristic fondateur du surréalisme serbe

Autograph letter signed by Paul Eluard addressed to Marco Ristic (whom Paul Eluard Frenchifies as Marco Ristitch), theorist and founder of Serbian surrealism, 17 lines written in blue ink.
Folds inherent to postal handling, envelope included.
Marco Ristic is in France and Paul Eluard is burning to meet him: "Needless to say my impatience to see you again, but I knew you were busy upon your arrival and, for a month, I have been bedridden." even if his job does not allow him to do so immediately: "Up yesterday, I must leave tomorrow morning for Brussels... [...] I would very much like you to telephone me so that we can make an appointment."
The poet wishes to introduce his correspondent to the Croatian architect Josip Markovic, father of his friend Dora Maar, Pablo Picasso's muse: "A great friend, Dora Maar, asks me to recommend her father, Mr Markovitch, to you. I would be grateful if you would receive him."
To facilitate these hoped-for and envisioned contacts, Paul Eluard provides his Parisian address and telephone number.
Charming missive illustrating the international connections of surrealism and decorated with Paul Eluard's handsome manuscript signature, one of its most important representatives.
