Handwritten letter by Marie Laurencin, in part (translated): "Unfortunately the judge hasn’t given his decision yet. Everything is postponed. The plaintiffs have initially found that I was not French. Then the story of the passport with four leafs lacking which would be a defect from the fabrication. In any case, the passport is not signed. As soon as weather improves I will go to St Benoit Sur Loire on July 31. August 1 we take the car and I will prepare the exhibitions for the one at Petrides. I have lent several paintings...The plaintiffs want to prove that I do not leave my apartment. Now everybody is on holiday." In fine condition, with light creasing to the upper left corner.
