Cassis 2 Novembre 1933 13.50 x 21.50 cm une feuille Fine and amusing signed manuscript letter from Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Cassis to Alice Rim 3 and a half pages 54 lines in black ink in which he lyrically praises the benefits of the delicious Parisian confections that his correspondent sends him: "". Et quelles sucreries ! Si Dieu pouvait goûter ce que Boissier fabrique avec ses fruits comme il serait honteux des grossiers produits de ses arbres et comme il aurait envie de recommencer sa création."" "". And what confections! If God could taste what Boissier makes with his fruits how ashamed he would be of the crude products of his trees and how he would want to begin his creation anew."" He also praises the tranquility of Cassis without summer visitors: ""Plus d'autos plus de poussière plus de phonos plus de sirènes entre deux vagues. C'est le beau clair et silencieux Cassis authentique où rien ne gêne le travail."" ""No more cars no more dust no more phonographs no more sirens between two waves. This is the beautiful clear and silent authentic Cassis where nothing disturbs work.""and the pleasure of reading ""Voilà"" a magazine in which Carlo Rim collaborates as an illustrator: "". pas un moucheron de Cassis qui ne s'imagine avoir collaboré avec Carlo Rim et son livre sera ici une oeuvre collective nationale."" "". not a single gnat in Cassis who doesn't imagine having collaborated with Carlo Rim and his book will be here a collective national work.""a pleasure shared by all the residents of Cassis: "". je ne sais comment réagissent les puissants de Marseille qu'il égratigne si gaillardement. Mais ici ce ne sont que sourires quand on parle de ""Carlo"". Et j'imagine qu'un jour la population déboulonnera le Calendal de la jetée pour hisser sur le socle un Carlo Rim de granit ou un M. Virgule en ciment armé."" "". I don't know how the powerful people of Marseille react to his spirited scratches. But here there are only smiles when we speak of ""Carlo"". And I imagine that one day the population will unbolt the Calendal from the pier to hoist on the pedestal a Carlo Rim in granite or a M. Virgule in reinforced cement."" In a final gourmand flourish Roger Martin du Gard thanks Alice Rim: ""Veuillez agréer chère madame l'hommage de ma gourmandise reconnaissante.""

Cassis 11 février 1934 13.50 x 21.50 cm une feuille Beautiful and amusing signed manuscript letter from Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Cassis to Alice Rim 38 lines in black ink in which he displays all his insatiable appetite for sweets. Fold mark inherent to postal mailing. ""Cassis. February 11th 34 Dear Madam a certain Carlo Comma - whose infernal nerve you know - had the audacity to present himself alone word underlined in Cassis! I must say that he had been conscious of the disappointment he was going to cause and that he arrived with his arms loaded with sumptuous bags of fondant sweets and stuffed dates from the most delicate confectioner If anything could have consoled us for your absence it was indeed this cargo of choice delicacies. The intention was so kind that we did not dare reproach him for his widowhood and that we concealed as best we could the melancholy of our regrets. I am a little ashamed to play this role of an old coquette whom one spoils by stuffing her with pralines; but ""only a little"" for gluttony quickly prevails over feelings of dignity that age has greatly dulled. And the said Carlo promised me in compensation that before the end of carnival - if by then the sky has not fallen on our heads - you would both come to see Cassis again and stay longer than tonight's meteoric appearance. I would almost believe I dreamed it if my room did not smell of pistachio and vanilla and if my papers did not have this imposing confectioner's bag as a paperweight tonight. May at least the Charentes be gentle to you dear madam! I send you there with my faithful respects a thousand wishes for a joyful Fat Tuesday! Roger Martin du Gard"". S. n. unknown

A small ink stain in the left margin of the recto and slightly affecting the word ""sinistrées"". The father of the Thibaults shows himself terrified by the extent of the damage his Parisian real estate has suffered and the inherent expenses to deal with it: ""Your letter caused me some fright. To attack the repairs from underneath if I understand correctly would this mean gutting the ceilings"" Roger Martin du Gard already sees the troubles parade by and his meager savings dwindle: "". because they always entail a cascade of repairs touch-ups adjustments very difficult very expensive due to a host of accessory expenses poorly predictable in advance and which cause various trades to follow one another. One never knows where one is going."" while he already lives frugally his material situation having deteriorated over the years: ""I have little left to count on but my professional earnings which have diminished by three-fifths. . The remainder barely allowing us to live like retired concierges - without staff!!!!"" Letter in which the father of the highly successful saga ""Les Thibault"" shares his impecuniosity with us. unknown

While vacationing in Cassis: ""having fled this year with my wife the mists of the Perche"" Roger Martin du Gard has just learned from his wife who returned hastily to their château du Tertre that torrential rains have severely affected their property: ""Disaster in the house. the ceiling is nothing but a sieve it rains as much inside as outside. The terraces are starting to leak again from all sides. everything is affected: paintings wallpaper electrical conduits. What should I do"" The writer urges his correspondent to contact without delay the contractor whom he holds responsible for the defective work that caused this new damage: ""But the fact remains that all this is the contractor's fault and that it is unacceptable. I cannot accept having every two years ceilings and paintings to redo wallpaper to replace."" and against whom he wishes to initiate legal proceedings: ""The waterproofing of the terraces is the essential condition for this type of work and I think I am within my rights in taking action against the contractor. I therefore ask you to do urgently everything you deem necessary certain that you will take your own share of responsibility in this unfortunate affair."" To facilitate the renovation work the irritated father of the Thibaults warns his interlocutor that part of his family will inhabit the damaged château: ""There will therefore always be someone at the end of the line without you needing to route your correspondence through Cassis. I regret it but you must put yourself in my place and understand that I cannot accept this state of affairs."" unknown

Cassis 8 Janvier 1934 13.50 x 21.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Cassis to his friend Alice Rim 3 pages 48 lines in black ink in which he savors his peaceful solitude in deserted Cassis. He thanks her for all the delicacies and confectioneries with which she supplies the Provençal hermit who only deplores the absence of his friends Carlo and Rim at his side : ""Cassis. 8 janvier 34 Chère madame Et serait-ce de petites crottes de musaraignes dans du papier d'argent que je serais déjà pénétré de reconnaissance par votre amicale attention ! Imaginez donc ce que je puis éprouver en décortiquant ces délicieux tortillons de La Rochelle croquants et onctueux insinuants comme des suppositoires et qui laissent dans mon vieux palais toutes les saveurs de l'amitié ! Ce confiseur charentais a su donner à vos voeux une forme gastronomique qui en double le prix ; et même si ces voeux comme tous ses pareils ne se réalisent pas je suis d'ores et déjà assuré d'en garder un inoubliable souvenir : mais pourquoi La Rochelle Si vous vouliez revoir la mer pourquoi cette infidélité à notre grande Bleue Elle s'était faite accueillante pour vous recevoir : elle avait cessé de charrier ses banquises retrouvé ses ondulations de soie et son peuplement de petites barques sous le soleil quasi printanier. Mais les fêtes s'achèvent et les Carlo Rim n'ont pas reparu. Je reste le seul ""hivernant"". On me montre du doigt aux enfants du port. Le Bestuan est désert. L'hôtel est vide. J'ai vu partir un à un tous les pensionnaires. Puis le personnel. Enfin les hôteliers. on m'a laissé seul avec les clefs et une vieille fée Carabosse pour me faire la bouillabaisse. C'est simplement merveilleux. J'ai un poêle à essence qui vit aux dépens de mon oxygène mais qui me préserve de la congestion par le froid en m'asphyxiant lentement. Gendre dans son local déserté dort toute l'après-midi roulé en boule sur la banquette avec sa chienne en guise de chancelière. La vieille amie s'en est allée sans attirer l'attention et la jeune ne trouble pas encore par ses yeux ce monde de marmottes qui somnole en attendant votre retour. Je vous souhaite un hiver aussi calme que le mien un quai de Passy aussi ensoleillé que celui du port. Partagez avec Carlo Rim et M. Virgule toutes mes amitiés fidèles et croyez chère madame que je suis confus mais très heureux de vous avoir laissé le souvenir d'un vieux type gourmand ! Roger Martin du Gard."" ""Cassis. January 8 34 Dear Madam Even if they were little shrew droppings in silver paper I would already be filled with gratitude for your friendly attention! Imagine then what I might feel when peeling these delicious twists from La Rochelle crunchy and creamy insinuating like suppositories and which leave in my old palate all the flavors of friendship! This confectioner from Charente has known how to give your wishes a gastronomic form that doubles their value; and even if these wishes like all their kind do not come true I am already assured of keeping an unforgettable memory of them: but why La Rochelle If you wanted to see the sea again why this infidelity to our great Blue She had made herself welcoming to receive you: she had stopped carrying her ice floes rediscovered her silk undulations and her population of small boats under the almost spring-like sun. But the festivities are ending and the Carlo Rims have not reappeared. I remain the only 'winter resident'. I am pointed out to the children of the port. The Bestuan is deserted. The hotel is empty. I saw all the guests leave one by one. Then the staff. Finally the hoteliers. I was left alone with the keys and an old fairy Carabosse to make me bouillabaisse. It is simply marvelous. I have a kerosene stove that lives at the expense of my oxygen but which preserves me from congestion by cold by slowly asphyxiating me.

Nice 1er Novembre 1934 13.50 x 21 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Roger Martin du Gard addressed from Nice to his friends Rim 3 pages 46 lines in black ink great suppliers of sweets and other delicacies for the author of Les Thibault who seems to rediscover under the Provençal sun and tranquility; a soothed sweetness and carefree spirit of living simply the proximity of a school further facilitating this ideal peace : ""Nice. 1er novembre 34 Chers amis pour si agréable qu'il soit c'est un rôle bien gênant à tenir que celui du vieux monsieur qu'on gave de sucreries ! Je suis attendri jusqu'aux larmes que vous pensiez ainsi à me régaler à distance et le coeur me fond dans la poitrine en même temps que les caramels dans la bouche. J'ai refusé autrefois de participer à l'érection d'un buste de Blasco Ibanez sous le prétexte que les vrais bienfaiteurs de l'humanité Gillette et Eversharp n'avaient pas leurs statues sur toutes les places publiques de France. Je refuse aujourd'hui toute obole pour le monument du roi Alexandre tant que Marseille reconnaissante n'aura pas fait à Castelmuro pâtissier-chocolatier qui était une véritable institution marseillaise la statue en pied sur socle de nougat qu'il mérite depuis longtemps ! Que devenez-vous Ou peut-on lire du Carlo Rim Mr Virgule me réjouit chaque semaine fidèlement ; mais la prose alerte et mordante qui me donnait de loin l'impression d'avoir assisté aux fêtes de Paris me manque. Et plus encore le volume substanciel que Rim pourrait nous donner tous les trois mois s'il le voulait. Pour moi j'ai trouvé à Nice le climat idéal. C'est seul coin du monde je crois bien où s'est réfugié la douceur de vivre d'avant-guerre. Nous y menons une vie ""sans obligations ni sanctions"" ; une vie laborieuse aussi car j'y travaille bien sans voir personne. Mes fenêtres s'ouvrent sur une école et c'est la cloche des élèves qui règle mon lever mon travail mes repas. Pendant les récréations je fume ma pipe entre les deux coups de cloche. C'est admirable. C'est la vie de couvent à domicile. Donnez-moi de vos nouvelles. Les nuages qui s'accumulent à l'horizon ne jettent-ils pas leur ombre sur votre irréductible bonne humeur Je vous souhaite mille prospérités ! Ne doutez pas de l'affectueuse fidélité de ma pensée ni de ma gastronomique reconnaissance Roger Martin du Gard."" ""Dear friends however pleasant it may be it's quite an awkward role to play that of the old gentleman who is stuffed with sweets! I am moved to tears that you think to treat me at a distance and my heart melts in my chest at the same time as the caramels in my mouth. I once refused to participate in the erection of a bust of Blasco Ibanez under the pretext that the true benefactors of humanity Gillette and Eversharp did not have their statues in all the public squares of France. I refuse today any contribution for the monument to King Alexander as long as grateful Marseille has not given Castelmuro pastry-chocolatier who was a true Marseille institution the full-length statue on a nougat pedestal that he has long deserved! What are you up to Where can one read Carlo Rim Mr Virgule delights me faithfully every week; but the alert and biting prose which gave me from afar the impression of having attended the festivities of Paris I miss. And even more the substantial volume that Rim could give us every three months if he wanted to. As for me I have found the ideal climate in Nice. It's the only corner of the world I believe where the sweetness of pre-war living has taken refuge. We lead a life there 'without obligations or sanctions'; a laborious life too for I work well there seeing no one. My windows open onto a school and it's the students' bell that regulates my rising my work my meals. During recess I smoke my pipe between the two bell strokes. It's admirable. It's convent life at home. Give me your news. Don't the clouds gathering on the S. n. unknown
