ALS in French, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, no date. Handwritten letter by Jean Cocteau, in part (translated): "How could you believe I did my fallacies on purpose. It is true that I come and I fall ill. I’m often discouraged and then I recover forces, my strength, etc. It’s a drama that never ends. It happens to me not to open an envelope or to answer and keep my answer instead of sending the letter. Your kindness tells me I can be frank. Let’s see each other one day." He adds a handwritten postscript at the top, in part: "I live in hotels and I am still moving this week. I will be in Macon the day after tomorrow...Paris asphyxiates me." In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds.
