''This 19-X-65''
My dear Althusser,
I am in the process of reading the volume you were good enough to send to me, with delectation.<ref>Reference is to ''Pour Marx'', which had just been published by Maspero. Instead of treating it as he had Lacan's other letters, Althusser had placed this one in a folder containing letters from eminent figures or friends, most of them admiring (among whom were Jean-Toussaint Desanti, Jean-François Revel, Georges Canguilhem, François Châtelet, Gilles Deleuze, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, and Jean-Pierre Vernant), after the book's publication.</ref>
You may have gotten wind of the visit I paid to the director of the Ecole. An annual visit I had not been able to make at the end of the school year.
I did not have time that day to knock on your door.
I would like to be sure that someday, doing so, I would not be disturbing you.
''Your
Lacan''
