"July 5, 1960 My dear Marie I have just received a lovely letter from Peter Brook [director] and I wanted to thank you for giving him mine. I thank you less for the silence for which you held Renaud and Armide on the radio quoting your roles. I always thought that you didn't know what Renaud was, but I believed in your friendship because you called on mine when you had to present yourself to the public through text or image. Jean (with his star) P.S. I would like you to know [...] that there is no reflex of wounded pride in my letter, because justice is done and even for my dear Jean Genet whose name Vaudoyer so interesting (in vain) to pronounce at the French Academy.
