" My dearest friend, Here we are in Nice, my head full of intrauterine caverns, yet the weather is very beautiful and the sun draws me towards other walks. I am thinking of you, of Nush [sic] , of Breton and of Paris .

The article has become longer than I expected, but I had to say everything I wanted to say. Since space was reserved for plenty of photos, I hope there will be enough. If by chance you happen to find any drawings of yurts or tents (and if you think they would be useful), in an anthropology book (Deniker?), would you be so kind as to have them reproduced? I don't think it's essential. I've worked hard on this article and I'm waiting to hear from you , still at Poste-restante, as we're only staying temporarily at this hotel.

Won't you come this way somewhere this winter? There are mountains nearby; I would be so happy to see you again, and Nush too . Please excuse me once more for the trouble I caused you by sending this migrating article in fragments , and I send you all my best wishes. TZARA and Greta's as well.
