[Paris, 17th December 1957], 1/4 p. in-4°
With autograph envelope

Short message of thanks from the philosopher

« Avec tous mes remerciements,
chère Madame
S. de Beauvoir »

Berthe Mandinaud was Simone de Beauvoir’s official typist, who was responsible for the complete transcription of all of her work.
This short letter is probably a thank you for the typewriting done for Mémoires d’une jeune fille rangée, the first part of Simone de Beauvoir’s autobiographical work, which was to be published the following year.
