95 - LITERATURE. Pierre SEGHERS, a collection of 9 letters or postcards (7 typewritten, handwritten, and handwritten on typewritten text) in which Seghers expresses his friendship and admiration for her.

Paris, January 30, May 22, and October 16, 1985, and February 6, 1990. 2 envelopes preserved.

She confirms that her husband, who is away at the moment, is fully in favor of joining the Honorary Committee.
