Description

PORCHÉ (François). 3 LAS to the actress Madame Simone, whom he married in 1924. - Nov. 11, 1918, 2 pp. in-4, gripping account of the end of the war: "My love, at noon I heard a distant chime in the direction of Gisors. I opened my window and shouted to Valloussia: 'The war is over. (...) And firecrackers went off in the village throughout the evening. (...) Outside rehearsals, rest, my love. And take many precautions. Apollinaire died of influenza again, in 2 days." - Nov. 12, 1918, 2 pp. in-4. He worries about not having any news, and is already thinking about the armistice: "It seems that these spontaneous demonstrations have reached a quite extraordinary scale. There's no talk of disorder. How quickly the dead must have been forgotten, however, for the joy to have taken on this tumultuous character! (...) One only wonders how certain conditions can be applied in the present state of Germany...". - Dec. 1, 1925, 4 pp. in-8, Washington Hotel letterhead. His "adored love" is on tour: "I am happy with the triumph. After Italy, Egypt. Everyone wants my dear Pousset." He gives her various news items, schedules their reunion in Rome and their lunch at "gros pigeon [who] rambles all the same: 3 days apart he makes me reread Théophile Gautier's verses on Elisa's album". He sent her the poems he had written, and his article on women in L'Illustration was published on the 28th. Expert: Ségolène Beauchamp
