HANDWRITTEN NOTE SIGNED ON PRINTED REPLY CARD BY JEAN PAULHAN.

10.5 x 14cm, 2pp printed reply card with a note handwritten by the French writer, literary critic and publisher, director of the foremost French literary magazine of the period, the Nouvelle Revue Francaise aka NRF (after the retirement of Jacques Riviere).

Paulhan was also the recipient of the erotic love letters that formed the basis of the Story Of O written by the author’s lover Anne Desclos and originally published under her pseudonym of Dominique Aury. The text here is a short note chiding an anonymous contributor who has failed to deliver his promised text to Paulhan on time. Fine.
