  1. Gallimard wrote: "Unfortunately for both of us I am not the printer. I have to deal with all of these people who promise but don't deliver, and who themselves are faced with all the difficulties caused by the war and which are still not resolved. I telegraph them, beg them, telephone them, they tell me that there is a strike, nothing can be sent out, it is impossible to find decent materials, there is a scarcity of printing type; in the end I get cross, I take back the manuscript to give it to someone else who promises to do better and then the same story starts all over again". (Letter from Gaston Gallimard, 13 May [19]19: CP 05456; MP-GG, no. 95) [FL]
