Pierre LOUŸS (1870-1925). 4 autograph NOTES, May 9-14, 1923; on 3 pages in-8 and half-page in-fol. A moving record of Louÿs' mental state at the end of his life. In a state of physical weakness and suffering from mental disorders, Louÿs was admitted to the Saint-Mandé nursing home. In loose handwriting, Louÿs copies from memory some verses of V. Hugo, expresses his desire to return home; these notes are dated and annotated by the doctor [Dr. Vinchon], who indicates on one that Louÿs is very impressed by the memory of his great-uncle Junot duc d'Abrantès. Attached is a note by the doctor (1 p. in-4 on the letterhead of the Maison de santé) on Louÿs's Spanish memories; a note by Jean Cassou on the deterioration of Louÿs's mental state from 1918 to 1923 (4 p. in-fol.); a small photograph of P. Louÿs.
