ARTAUD Antonin. 3 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED to Marc BARBEZAT. Ivry, July 29, November 23, December 2, 47. 12 pages in-8 in green ink, 3 envelopes kept. Correspondence addressed to Marc Barbezat, the publisher of L'Arbalète, concerning Tutuguri, recurring money problems and Marthe Robert. ... I have just rewritten much better, I believe, than in the past, since I have added eleven years of experience and pain to my former text, which had remained in the hands of Doctor Ferdière. Although I abominate the word "rite", I'll find a new word on proofs to replace "rites" with "peyote sun"... dare I ask you for a liter of olive oil? that's what I need most, if not opium... Dear Marc Barbezat, forgive me for behaving like a leech or a vampire when it comes to money, but I'd like to try and spend a few weeks in the South of France ... I attach great personal value to Marthe Robert's text. If you wish, publish only a few sentences, but these few sentences, which added together must be worth five or six pages of text, publish them, they are rare sentences and you will know how to find them.
