L'HERBIER (Marcel).
2 C.A.S. and 3 L.S. to André S. Labarthe. 5 p. in-4 or in-12, Paris, June 14, 1963 - November 13, 1970 on his letterhead, "La Tourelle". 1 envelope kept. About the chronicle of Television of André S.

It will seek other published writings; my dramatic "Miracle" of 1917, my first poems, my first criticisms... my first critical essays appeared in L'Illustration (1912), the literary ones in Mercure de France (1916), my poems a little everywhere...
