Title
Letter from Jacques Lipchitz to Christian Zervos
Date
9–15 October 1929
Description
This is a reply by Lipchitz to Zervos's letter of 9 October 1929. Lipchitz agrees to lend his sculpture, and to look for old sketches, and also warns that he leaves on 'the 15th [of October?]'. He does not have any sketches with him, so if Zervos needs them immediately, he can contact Dr Cournan, asking Jeanne Boucher to be an intermediary. This letter was published.
