One of the most interesting exhibits, which has appeared in the Widener Library Treasure Room for some time, is a collection of letters written by Anatole France to M. Henri Gonod.
Anatole France, who was one of the greatest modern French men of letters died in October 12, at the age of 80 years. M. Gonod was officially entitled in the French government "Conseiller d'Etat", and was at one time a member of the French cabinet. The letters are very intimate in tone, and indicate that there was a warm friendship between the two men. Besides the letters, there are on exhibition some illustrated editions of some of Anatole France's shorter works. The letters have been lent to the library through the kindness of Mrs. E. B. Hill.
