"Décidément je ne puis rien vous envoyer de moi."

Signed autograph letter from Jean Wahl addressed to Marc Barbezat, one page written in black ink on a sheet. Envelope included. Transverse fold inherent to the mailing.
Jean Wahl was Marc Barbezat's examiner for the philosophy baccalaureate examination, and it was then that the two men became friends. In 1940, shortly after writing this letter, Barbezat would found the journal L'Arbalète to which the philosopher would contribute by entrusting his very first poems to his young protégé. This journal would later become a publishing house that would notably publish the first and scandalous texts of Jean Genet.
Letter in response to a request from Marc Barbezat who had undoubtedly asked Wahl for a text: "I definitely cannot send you anything of mine." He mentions Marcel Raymond and gives Balacheff's address.
