8vo. Together 2 pp. With two autograph envelopes. From his correspondence with the publishers Maurice Delamain, Jacques Boutelleau (better known as Jacques Chardonne), and André Bay of the Librairie Stock. The letter from 1936 to Delamain and Boutelleau concerns a preprint of Marcel's play "Le Fanal" in the monthly "La Vie Spirituelle", later published by Stock: "La Vie Spirituelle va décidément publier Le Fanal avent qu'il paraisse en librairie. Vous n'y verrez évidemment aucun inconvénient. Je suppose que je suis tenu de partager avec la maison Stock la petite somme que je toucherai après la publication [.]". In a longer postscript, Marcel discusses the possibility of a performance of the play at the Comédie-Française. - On 23 January 1959, Marcel inquired with Bay whether Stock would be willing to reissue his 1923 play "L'Iconoclast" since it was basically out of stock: "Je voudrais vous poser la simple question suivante, L'Iconoclaste est pratiquement épuisé, accepterez-vous de le rééditer ? Je le ferais volontiers précéder d'une introduction [.]". The reissue does not appear to have been realized. - The letter from 1959 with recipient's marks and stamp. Staple holes and a rust stain from a paper clip. Very slightly toned.
