The Letters Between Camus and....

Okay, this is going to be probably be a touchy one. There is finally an English translation of the correspondence between Albert Camus and Maria Casares, who was, I think, his longest standing mistress. I am an avid letter writer and have books of famous correspondences and have used Camus' correspondence upon his winning the Nobel Prize with his teacher in classrooms. While I own just about everything Camus wrote, ths one has me at a quandary. (Spoiler alert) The suicide of the woman on the bridge in "The Fall" is a reference to Camus' wife who attempted suicide....... I believe because of his infidelity. Okay, fine, while she may have had pre-existing mental issues, it had to hurt her. Does anyone have the English translation of the letters between them? If so, how was it? I've been cheated on, so maybe it is just me with this issue.
