ALS in French, two pages, 8.5 x 11, June 4, 1973. Interesting letter about exhibitions in America, in part (translated): "We arrived so late to Paris that I had only 3 weeks to prepare my 2 exhibitions in the United States…So I was in a rush. Hopefully everything was in time and the photos arrived safely. We spent 5 great days at Washington. I was fond of Georgetown with its pretty gardens full of magnolia, clematis, azalea. We stayed at a hotel in front of the White House, and the exhibition was truly a success. Many people came from New York, Chicago, even from San Francisco for the opening, like Ansel Adams from Carmel, the most famous photographer alive in America. There was a dinner with 60 guests and I sold out all my photos (the exhibition will carry on to other towns, Chicago, etc). I'm writing you from a lovely friend's flat…in front of Central Park. Yesterday (Sunday) there was a Puerto Rican's party on 5th Ave. It was as great as the Rio Carnival. We will be probably at San Francisco around the 15th (after an exhibition and the launch of Brassai Portfolio) and to Los Angeles as well to see my old friend Henry Miller." In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corners and creasing to the left side.
