ANNABELLA cinema, delightful autograph letter signed in French and English

  

5 August 1996 (one month before his death). A lovely letter in which English and French are mixed together.

“Dearest wonderful José, I have just finished the third disc that you gave to Doode.

It is fantastic, moving, fascinating. What a strange period of life, and thanks to you and your work everything becomes alive again, as if it were just last month. And my dear José, when I think of your personal work, of finding all these cassettes (.)”

“Of course, as soon as I have the time and the opportunity, I want Doode to let me hear numbers 1 and 2. A thousand million thanks, my dear, dear José, for what you have done and left behind you — unique and priceless.

”

“Of course I am in joy here — this America that I have always adored, and which today seems to me even more different from that France where we live — which I naturally love, but in a different way.”

“I send you a big kiss, and please greet all the lovely beauties around you for me.
