Magnificent letter of giacometti written at the beginning of his "yanaihara crisis". Thank you for your letters and for the photographs of the beyeler marble that I will send you back signed. These two marbles are very different from each other but they are made at about the same time, and they are original marbles.

It's a great pleasure to have these two marbles in your collection. And I thank you infinitely for everything you do for my work and that touches me a lot.

It's a great joy for me. I work a lot and I hope to get something new. Very cordial greetings to Madame Thompson and to yourself. Made I believe in 1929 or 30 after a sculpture from 1927.
