To the first, Bella Chagall states in part `Unfortunately Chagall is not in Paris at this precise moment. He is in the countryside, not far from Paris, he is working. He is not intending to be back until next week…I will be going with my little girl to meet him next Friday, in order to be together for the new year,….the address is as follows ''Montchaunet par Septeuil, at M. Guy. You must take the train to Mantes-Gossicourt, and then a bus.´ To the second Chagall refers to his Russian period, and lists also a small list of his French poets. To the last, Bella Chagall on behalf of Marc Chagall says `I am on the seaside…When are you intending to go to Paris. I´ll be back in fifteen days….I would like, if you agree, to give the chance to several Belgian and French writers to express their opinions on different aspects of my art…´ Chagall further lists a series of names of friends, with their addresses, and alongside the questions he would ask them regarding ''Art and Religion'', his first days in Paris, Chagall in Germany, and other art works. An interesting set of three letters containing the names of Chagall´s chosen close friends and artists to be asked about his art and former artistic works.
