Céline, of course, wrote this on purpose to give Édith grounds for divorce. They had already been separated for a while at that time and there was no question of them living together. The letter is a legal trick. The writer’s second marriage to Lucette Almansor was happy. She outlived Céline by decades, dying at the age of 107.
My point is that people don’t know historical realities and draw baseless conclusions. The letter is not evidence of hostility but, to the contrary, a friendly gesture from Céline to his ex.
