Eluard writes: "I'll give your commission to Aragon and Picabia today. As for Morand, he's not in Paris and I don't have his address. He goes on to give a bibliographical reference (F. S. Flint, Some French Poets of To-Day. Monthly Chapbook Vol 1, No 4, The Poetry Bookshop, London, 1919) and the bookshop where his interlocutor could obtain the work. Frédéric Lefèvre (1889-1949) writer, editor-in-chief of Nouvelles Littéraires (1922-1949) and literary critic. He continues, "Do you know Tzara's 1918 Dada manifesto, the most precious of all. You could read it at Le Sans Pareil, because all the Dada n[umer]os must be out of print." The Dada Manifesto 1918 was read during a performance on July 23, 1918 at the Zunfthaus in der Meise in Zurich. Corrected and republished with six other manifestos, it is intended as an anti-manifesto. "His project is polemical: "I destroy the drawers of the brain and those of social organization" (Abastado, Cl. Le "Manifeste Dada 1918" : un tourniquet. In : Littérature, n°39, 1980. Les manifestes. pp. 39-46). DADAISM
