Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE. L.A.S. "LFC", [Korsør] June 5 [1951], to Robert Le Vigan; 8pages in-fol. Long unpublished letter to the actor. He reflects on Le Vigan's idea (of coming to Argentina). "But you know that I'm first and foremost the arch-regular, arch-serious guy - so I don't want to butter you up. I don't want to be overwhelmed with work anymore, I couldn't, I don't have the strength. I need a ½retirement - a position as an assistant doctor in a hospital in a country like Normandy or Brittany - with Lucette - which leaves me many hours to "work" on my novel manuscript. So that's what I am - a bloody idiot - hard to fit in and hard to get out of!"... A position as port doctor, in maritime health, would appeal to him; he has the necessary exams: "in this capacity, I was even shipwrecked on the Chella, Cie Paquet, torpedoed off Gibraltar, 1940". There's the problem of transferring funds, and it's vital that Lucette be examined by a surgeon in Paris. She would need a modest, but very pleasant place: "it's the illustrious writer they receive more than the illustrious doctor". He's going to send the animals by plane to Menton to his in-laws; details on Pirazzoli, Lucette's father-in-law... "Here I'm dealing with a damned rascal the Mikkelsen - the amnesty fell on him in one hell of a twist! How is he going to pay me back what he owes me? that great benefactor? all things considered? Oh dear, that's a tough one. He's already bankrupted 4 times! and tartufe - and bitch and cruel. The Dane is like the Boche without the military virtues - that's all there is to it! finassieren, chicanieren etc. In the meantime, we can barely eat. Nothing grows here - no vegetables, too cold. The once-a-week, overpriced meat is bad. Tasteless eggs - tasteless fish - luckily we're not fussy. But smoked herring with oatmeal - I don't want it anymore - and neither do the cats. [...] Tixier-Vignancourt is involved in the electoral epilepsy of I don't know which Pyrenees. But with me he has achieved a miracle! a monstrosity!"... Attached is a small L.A.S., Klaskovgaard on the 8th (half-page in-fol.): "Dear old man I was expecting to hear from you in another Argentinian boondocks... you were telling me of your desire to go and feel agriculture"...

(ALLIER) Family CHABANNES LA PALICE - Letter A.S. "A. DE CHABANNES" written from LA PALICE (Château de) this Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1856 - 4 pages in-8°: "It seems to me that the time of your return to Versailles is approaching, dear Madame, and I have come to thank you for your kind letter from London... I'm not surprised at the impression Jurikenham has made on you, but I'd like to know about Claremont's emotions too. There is that great figure of the Queen there, so striking for the halo of purity and holiness that envelops her... every time I go there it seems to me as if I were crossing the threshold of a temple, a sanctuary,... one would fall to one's knees before the Queen as if at the aspect of a divinity... I'm delighted you've enjoyed England, but I think you'll tire of it in the long run. It's especially the constant bustle of English life that's exhausting... I agree with you about the trees, and if you see ours in Bourbonnais you'll understand my daily groans. They are completely stripped to feed the sheep, and the unfortunates sometimes look like masts of cocagne. In general, they are always tortured in France, where the feeling for landscape art is so rare and where there is so little love for life in the fields. Despite its nakedness, our country has a good side, and I hope to see you there next year..."
