"Cher Monsieur,
Je vous remercie pour votre lettre du 7 août que j`ai bien recu.
Vous m`informez que les membres du Conseil Municipal voudrait, avant de commander la mosaique pour la Grande Ecole, voir l`esquisse ou la photo de ce travail.
Mais j`ai l`habitude, après confirmation de la commande, de montrer, de toute manière, des croquis de l`esquisse et même d`entendre des conceils avant de développer définitivement l`esquisse.
Veuillez croire, cher Monsieur, a mes sentiments meilleurs.
Marc Chagall"
