I have just read with great interest issue 3 of La Révolution Surréaliste. I see that the fragment I had sent you did not find a place in it. Upon rereading it in recent days, I realized that it was not possible to make use of it.

Nevertheless, I remain completely won over to the surrealist cause. So far away from you, I follow you blindly, as best I can.

Your letter from last month gave me much joy and hope. May I send you a very short surrealist fragment for the next issue of La Révolution?

I hope you will accept it. If you reply quickly, I will send it back by return mail. You know, sir, that I am isolated in the province. I hope you will include me in your research. I would like to work with you.

Please make use of me, so that my forced absence does not condemn me to complete oblivion.
