COCTEAU Jean L.A.S. "Jean" with five star drawings, Milly January 1, 1952, to Mary HOECK; 1 page in-4° with five stars drawn with a pen. Nice letter on the scandal of his play Bacchus.

The fights come from those who want to substitute themselves for priests and judge in God's place. Aren't we a medieval man in small feet. Santa Claus is being burned in the public square! But this success proves to me that not everyone agrees with this inquisitorial style"....
