Pablo PICASSO. Autograph letter signed "Picasso", Rome "Hôtel de Russie" April 1917, to Guillaume APOLLINAIRE; 1 page in-4 (27.2 x 20.2 cm) in brown ink. "My dear Guillaume I'm writing to you on behalf of Diaghilew. Will you take on the task of writing some articles for him? Write to him so he can hear you. Tell him to tell you exactly what he wants and tell him what you want. It's true that I haven't written to you for some time, but I'd be very happy if you wrote to me more often. You're very happy to be a father. I congratulate you. I agree to all the work you suggest, we'll do the translation of Cervantes [The Glass Licensee] and I'll do the engravings you say for your book [Calligrammes]. Say nice things to Ruby [Jacqueline Kolb ] I kiss you" Exposition Apollinaire (Bibliothèque nationale, 1969, no. 451). Excerpts in Picasso/Apollinaire, Correspondance (1992, no. 122, p. 152).
