Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE. 5 L.A.S., [Klarskovgaard 1949], to Marie Bell; 10pages in-fol. About his trial and his lawyers. April or May] 5th. "Dear Marie Received your letter just now! admirable friend! Nothing to say. It is perfect. Queen of the stage and padded doors! I bring the situations - you bring the text!... the lines!... the apotheosis!... or the guillotine! [...] I'll applaud either way - hung, unstuck, or triumphant... I kiss you"... November 25. "Ah my dear Marie. Everything is falling apart! The Commissioner of the Gt Seltensperger is divested of my file.... "What the hell has given me such a soft Fouquet Tinville! Over to you Couthon! Jump on this file! And let it bleed!..." pretty much the dialogue between the Public Prosecutor's Office and the "Hauts Lieux des Hurle-à-mort"! They handed my case over to a head-cutting Commissioner... a hard man, a chrome man! a galvanic! [...] They made me pay for the Tixier duel, the Scapini escape... everything! I've been referred to the Court of Justice again. They're going to give me at least 20 years! or the whole lot! on an empty file, mind you! unless, of course, they mobilize the solid phalanx of false witnesses from the PP... those old civil servants of Crime... After that, of course, I could protest in an "opuscule", make the gallery laugh... It's not much of a consolation. If your friend is well placed as he says... he'll see what we can do... if we can still make a just cause triumph! Let's laugh! There's so much epilepsy in all this that I don't think any treatment is possible. It's appalling"... Nov. 7, '49: "Ah dear Marie, it's about time you wrote to me, the ink is starting to freeze around here, I've been at a loss to reply! I will certainly write to Maître Doublet, if he can do anything... a thousand thanks and gratitudes... I've been promised so many things... Nothing has happened! Poteau has been waiting for me for 7 years... Poteau-sur-Seine - for me the City... France... And I was born in Courbevoie you know! 1894... in the month of May my pretty... and shivering at 47! in the Baltic. Even Lucette, more vicious than me, still takes 2 baths a day there - through the ice, darling! Women's temperament has always amazed me - what a fire in there! I have everything, you know, the Circus - The Dancer - the Dog - 12 cats... the Menagerie! even a hedgehog! and 30 or 40 chickadees"... December 2 [December]. "Dear Marie, of course I completely agree with you, I should be able to thank Tixier and Naud who can no longer help me in any way, on the contrary, under the circumstances! How obvious! Of course, I'd like your lawyer to take charge of my case. I know your genius, not only as an artist, but in life! I follow you blindly. But how, without inexcusable muftiness, can I tell these two perfectly disinterested defenders that I'd like to be sure of Me...'s care from now on? [...] I'd like it to go smoothly"... Mikkelsen (her Danish lawyer) goes to see Marie Bell: "But here too I am horribly embarrassed, clumsy, constrained... I have no control over him. You can imagine! In poverty, you know, you have to be infinitely delicate. Nothing is passed on to you. But I assure you that I'm doing everything I can to get him back on the train, to jump (!) to see you,... and to act. If I can't get him to do so, too bad, I'll write directly to Tixier that it's over... that I've asked Me... to kindly help me".... December 27. "My darling I send you good wishes for 50! the best from the bottom of my heart! And I hope you pray for me! It is a great need! By the time you receive this letter, they will have already treated me worse than dirt! They don't find much reason! That's why they're having so much fun! I've got that "little something" that appeals to the executioners! and the mules! They want me! I've got the "cop appeal"... It's not Thermidor yet! You were so beautiful in costume! I've lost so much love without you! And then my honor and then my head! Everything will go! Everything! But I don't want to be montrougisé! Fuck them! Death to the cows! 14 was enough fire!"... Attached is a "Draft letter to Céline" dictated by Marie Bell, with a typed copy of this letter (November 15, 1949) and a copy of another letter (November 26, 1949), about Maître Doublet's intervention in Céline's trial; Marie Bell suggests that he dismiss his two lawyers. Letters to Marie Bell (Du Lérot), nos. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17; and 14bis and 15bis.
