The second is dated April 9, 1979, and refers to the exhibition in tribute to Imre Pan that took place at the Editions de l'Hermitage gallery from March 2, 1979: "I read the text you (sic) wrote for my guest book and I am very touched [...] It will be for me a very beautiful memory of this exhibition, of my father and his friends who helped the book to appear. I'm delighted that we were able to pay such a beautiful tribute to my father." Pierre Lecuire also enclosed two copies of the invitation to the exhibition opening. A very well preserved copy.
