Dear Sir, I am leaving Cabris for the Vosges mountains these next few days and I am sorry to miss you again. I must visit your country, which is practically unknown to me. I haven't received a reply from my publisher, despite contacting them again. If Éditions de Minuit accepts it, that would be wonderful. Please let me know and I will retrieve your manuscript.
War? Yes, I would be devastated, but not discouraged, I think. We are now familiar with the worst. That helps us to keep fighting. Your faithful Albert Camus.
