106 - Thelen, Albert Vigoleis

Amsterdam, Jan. 10 and 12, and March 6, 1950. One page each on one sheet (approx. 28 x 21.5 cm). Concerns Rauch’s refusal to publish the works of Pascoaes (“The publisher who brings out this poet must be capable of the passion to assert him even against a world of hostile attitudes. Meulenhoff here possesses this quality, but Rascher does not...”) and Thelen’s translation of *Napoleon* (“I would call it… brilliant in its absurdity”). - Each with punch holes, folding creases, and a mark in the upper left corner; partly browned due to the paper; 1 leaf with a few small marginal stains; overall in good condition.
