TLS signed “Ray b.,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, January 28, 1966. Letter to Jean-Louis, in part: "You mention an article you wrote for Le Journal de Geneve about Something Wicked. Do you have another copy you might send me in the near future? I hate to bother you, but I gather the United States Mail service has come between us. I hope that the last year has been a good one for you. I have had many books published, a new comic-book The Autumn People based on my weird stories, a Vintage Collection which I selected for Random House, and another comic book due out in a few weeks, tomorrow Midnight. Both comic books from Ballantine. It is an old artform which I have loved since I as a boy collected Buck Rogers and Tarzan comics. F.451 is underweigh in London, directed by Truffaut, starring Julie Christie and Oskar Werner, in Technicolor. Isn't that incredible? It took 13 years to sell this project to films! Also, Jean-Louis Barrault has written again asking to do Martian Chronicles onstage in Paris next winter." In fine condition. Accompanied by a newspaper clipping of the French article referenced. Fahrenheit 451, which premiered later in 1966, was Francois Truffaut's first color film and his only non French-language film.
