Autograph letter signed by Lanza del Vasto, writer, philosopher and founder of the Community of the Ark. The letter is dated December 1964, in Orléans. Written in dark brown-black ink with his beautiful calligraphy, on a sheet of vellum paper. In this letter addressed to Mr. Jean Trélaün, Lanza del Vasto gives his opinion on the typographic face proposed for an upcoming publication and specifies the number of copies that will be retained. He also mentions a forthcoming tour in favor of prisoners and extends his year-end wishes. « Orléans Dec. 1964 Dear friend The proposed type could be suitable in style, but to me it looks rather small. I would prefer Cheltenham body 9. We will retain for our use 1000 copies and will contribute to the costs in proportion if you wish. I met Michel yesterday in Lille and I am awaiting him here soon for our tour in favor of the prisoners I hope to see you soon, perhaps at Christmas. My best wishes to you and yours » Dimensions: 20.8 x 27.1 cm Condition: Very good overall condition. Perforation inherent to mailing. See photos for more details.
