ARTAUD Antonin. AUTOGRAPHIC LETTER SIGNED to Raymond QUENEAU. Rodez, December 5, 1943. One and a half pages in-4 on lined paper. ... Doctor Ferdière told me you'd be coming to see me here for Christmas, which will be a great joy for me. I've never forgotten everything you told me a few days before I left for Ireland, and I can't wait to tell you everything that's happened to me since. You know that a new Parisian publisher, Robert J. Godet, is proposing to publish "Le voyage au pays des Tarahumaras" with an additional text. And when this text, which I had already written in Paris between November 1936 and July 1937 but which has been lost, is rewritten, I intend to begin a Voyage au pays de Saint Patrick in which I'll recount everything that happened to me in Ireland and everything I saw from Inishmore to Dublin.
