Autograph letter dated and signed by Charles Vildrac to Henri Barbusse; one page with his monogram blind-stamped in the upper left corner and written in black ink on one leaf, 18 lines.
Postal folds, a small tear at the foot of the letter without any damage to the text.
Charles Vildrac congratulates Henri Barbusse for his militant devotion and dynamism: "J'ai pris connaissance du Manifeste appel pour une ligue internationale des écrivains et j'y adhère sans réserves en applaudissant à votre généreuse initiative." ["I have read the Manifesto calling for an international league of writers and I join it without reservation, applauding your generous initiative."] while criticizing the silence or indifference of certain colleagues in the face of the dangerous rise of fascist and Nazi perils: "Ne pensez-vous pas que l'on pourrait solliciter l'adhésion d'une quantité d'écrivains qui se sont abstenus de toute réaction publique devant les événements... à leur signifier notre opposition à leur attitude ?" ["Don't you think we could solicit the support of a number of writers who have abstained from any public reaction to events... to signify our opposition to their attitude?"]
