Summary/Abstract: Ion Chinezu's correspondence, a forerunner of his time, the leader of the Romanian interwar publication "Gînd românesc", reveals other aspects of his personality, apart from the known ones. Besides the documentary side, the exchange of letters between him and Basil Munteanu proves spiritual affinities, common shared values, journalistic recommendations, concerns in the area of literary relations. One can also see how friendship influences, shapes, highlights certain depths of soul. Sometimes it involves tighter exchange of ideas, but despite them, it preserves its moral value. Keeping a friendship involves a discipline of mind, a ritual, and as we will see in this case, the common interest to facilitate the development of culture.
