We are in January 1941, Claude Levi-Strauss after his demobilization is appointed as a professor in Montpellier but is dismissed at the end of 1940 following the racial laws of Vichy. He then seeks to recover his works that have remained at the Museum and for this, asks the recipient (Berge family) to be put in touch with Louise Alcan: "I, of course, left my functions last month and my great concern is the recovery of all my scientific documents, currently deposited at the Museum, and without which it is impossible for me to return to work". A few months later Claude Levi-Strauss will go into exile in New York. Two handwritten pages (215x180 mm).
