To the poet and chansonnier Camille François, concerning designs for lithographs for a book published by André Sauret and an encounter with the sister of the recipient: "Merci pour votre amicale lettre. J'ai donné les dessins à Sauret et la fabrication du livre va Suivre son cours. Dimanche dernier nous avons eu la visite de Marcel et la surprise de faire connaissance avec votre gentille sœur et Calotte! - - et nous avons bavardé jusequ'à minuit. Il fait chaud et orageux par ici, mais nous espèrons bien, que nombreux seront les applaudissements, à votre grand succes".
- The forthcoming book was probably Vlaminck's "La Tête tournée" that was published by Sauret in Monte Carlo in 1956 with twelve original lithographs. - Well preserved..

To an art dealer, probably Georges Wildenstein, accepting a proposal to participate in an exhibition in London and inviting the recipient to his house in Rueil-la-Gadelière: "Je vous remercie de votre lettre et suis très heureux de participer à la manifestation artistique que vous organisez dans votre Galerie de Londres pour Janvier prochain. Dès aujourd'hui, je donne à Monsieur Metthey tous les renseignements utiles pour cette manifestation. J'aurai grand plaisir à vous recevoir à La Tourillière, s'il vous est possible de venir jusqu'ici [...]".
- No 1936 exhibition of Maurice de Vlaminck's works in London is known, but Wildenstein's gallery exhibited de Vlaminck in 1937. It is thus most likely that the preparations for the exhibition announced in the letter took longer. A less likely scenario is that letter was written to confirm participation in a modern art exhibition at the Leger Gallery in London, also held in 1937. The business partner mentioned in the letter as "Metthey" cannot be identified with certainty: de Vlaminck might be referring to the art historian and critic Jacques Mathey. - Traces of folds. With punch holes..

To the Parisian editor of illustrated books Bernard Klein, accepting his conditions for a book on Montparnasse: "J'accepte donc les conditions que vs me faites pour illustrer le livre sur 'Montparnasse'. 450 mille francs pour les droits d'auteur et six exemplaires de ce livre". - While a publication on Montparnasse around 1950 has yet to be identified, Maurice de Vlaminck did contribute illustrations to Bernard Klein's 1952 publication "Vins, Fleurs et Flammes". Klein published illustrations by Foujita, Jacques Villon, Paul Cocteau, Maurice Utrillo and many others. - With minor tears. Creased.
