ARAGON Louis (1897-1982). L.A.S. "Georges Meyzargues", [Saint-Donat autumn 1943, to André ROUSSEAUX]; 1 page and a quarter in-8. Letter signed with a pseudonym during the Resistance [Aragon will use various pseudonyms in the underground, including that of Georges Meyzargues to sign L'Année du chèvrefeuille published in Poésie 43]. He evokes in hushed tones the rallies to the Resistance: "Good news: now Mr. Teste [Paul VALÉRY] is one of us. There are others that are more difficult to express. But the holidays are coming soon, and I would like to send their gift to the children of Stanislas [Fumet] as I heard". He evokes the friends of Dieuelefit... "I read the letters of Mouchette [BERNANOS]: they interested me, but I confess that I believe them to be very outdated, incomplete as they are, and not very useful. It would be a betrayal of this charming girl to make her say this now.
