To the publishing house Librairie Stock, probably its director Maurice Delamain, originally accompanying corrected proofs of his preface to Maurice Vlaminck's "La Haute-Folie" that was published by Stock in 1934: "Je vous renvoye cette épreuve corrigée. Je pense que Vlaminck ne va pas, maintenant, la faire attendre... Bonne année pour vous et les vôtres [...]". - The added letters by Lucien's son Pierre Descaves (1896-1966) are dated 19 June 1945 and 25 October 1949. In the earlier letter to Maurice Delamain of Stock, Desclaves responds to a request for supporting a novel by Henri Queffélec in the competition for the Prix Renaudot.
- In the later letter, very likely to Delamain, he thanks the recipient for condolences on the death of his father Lucien. - The letters from 1934 and 1945 stamped by Librairie Stock..
