Letter from Marie Laurencin, Berlin, to Paul Rosenberg, 1920 September 25 : autograph manuscript signed.

Informing him that she wants to get divorced and asking if he can get advice for her from the French consul in Paris. Is it the Germans or the French who will do the formalities? She says she has excellent reasons--her husband's behavior. She wants the divorce to take place as soon as possible. [She hasn't asked Rosenberg sooner because] one doesn't want to talk about such things too far in advance. She has only told one person in Paris (a man) about her plans. Her women friends know nothing about it, and she thinks it will be better to wait to tell them once things start moving forward. She plans to return to Paris to live. The following week she is going to Altenrode for a few days and then will return to Dusseldorf to arrange her affairs.
