To the French writer Jacques Prévert, mentioning the installation of his monumental stabile "La grande voile" in front of the M.I.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, announcing his departure for the United States on 5 May, and hoping to welcome the Prévert family upon his return: "Nous allons parce que ils vont deconné [!] sur un stabile de 12 m. de haut, que j'ai fait pour M.I.T - Massachussets Institute of Technology, à Cambridge Mass. (Boston) [...] C'est après ça que j'aimerais t'avoir ici - voulez vous, famille Prévert, venir un jour ou 2? [...]".

With thanks for an article Prévert wrote about him ("Oiseleur de fer"), which appeared in February 1966 in Maeght's review "Derrière le miroir", as well as for a book he gave him: "Pour toutes ces choses je ne t'ai jamais remercié - alors, tout de suite, je te remercie!".
