Physically diminished, Marie Laurencin postpones her participation in the La Phalange magazine, the official organ of poetry and symbolist art, directed by Jean Royère.] I am currently undergoing treatment in Bagnoles - with one leg that is not doing well and the other that is not doing much, and I am not at all aware of Mauclair's articles, nor of your beautiful magazine. In any case, before October I am unable to do anything that would lead to a complete rest.
So for your October issue, do not count on me. Why would I make a promise that I cannot keep? But when the new season starts, let me know. You can be sure that I always have a wonderful memory of La Phalange and of Madame Royère and of you.
Affectionately, I embrace both her and you." The magazine aims to be the official organ of poetry and symbolist art and welcomes Gide, Carco, Max Jacob, Guillaume Apollinaire, and the early poems of young André Breton in its pages.
