Carbon copy of a typed letter signed by Marguerite Yourcenar (in green felt-tip pen) to Mr. Bernard La Tour, working at ORTF, dated January 4, 1972, regarding the radio adaptation of [. It goes without saying that while accepting, as I did, the principle of a radio adaptation for this work, I insist on exercising a normal right of review over it.
For example, the radio adaptation, according to the telegram I received, will be 75 minutes long, which I imagine implies cuts. What will they be, and will other revisions be necessary or considered so? The original of this letter was sent to ORTF. (Brussels: June 8, 1903 - Bar Harbor, USA: December 17, 1987).
