Printed in Paris by Librairie Hatier.
Libraire Armand Colin - Cannot serve as intermediary between her and Georges Roth, because when they sold all the remaining stock of 'La tâche de Psyché' they gave her all rights on the book; are therefore returning her cheque; thanks her for sending Charléty's letter.
69 Boulevard de Montmorency (XVIe) - His publisher Rieder is looking for an English publisher for the 'Christianisme' collection as well as other collections he's published, and would like to have one or two names to pursue negotiations; they are giving the R.P.A. [Rationalist Press Association?] the rights to the volume that Houtin is writing, no other translation than hers will be authorized; thinks her great name will do much for the success of the translation; he saw [Émile Antoine?] Bourdelle, who has packed up the bust and it is ready to go; [Georges] Roth has given a notebook on Sir James for their collection; of course he is enthusiastic about a Frazeriana [?] society in France, whose goals seems entirely excellent.
Montague House, Russell Square, London - Encloses specimens of 'La France' and 'L'Echo de France', journals which circulate in secondary schools in England; Georges Roth suggested that she would be interested in them.
Warns her not to work too hard, sends greetings to Dr Rouse, [Louis] de Glehn, [Léon] Chouville, [William McCausland] Stewart; he reports on progress made visiting publishing houses to see where they are with different publications: received nothing from [Libraire Armand] Colin, so he tried to visit [Max] Leclerc, who wouldn't see him; visited [Librairie] Hatier, and is enclosing a copy of the title [not present]; there is no one left at Malye and the printing isn't going ahead, he says he will print if she agrees to share the cost of the printing.
33 rue de Tocqueville [image of La Basilique de Montmartre on front] - Says everyone asks how they are: les Goblets, Mr Desmond MacCarthy, Marcel Mauss etc.; the translation of 'La crainte des morts' by Madame de Luppé is admirable.
[Paris postmark] - Thanks her for the portrait of Sir James; it will be good to see her again and have a quiet chat, but it is a frightful era, with what horrible people in the center of Europe.
50 rue Truffaut, Paris 17e - Asks where they are, and if they are going to the commemoration of the centenary of Sir Walter at the Sorbonne in January; thanks her for the copies of the 'Times Literary Supplement'; condemns the Germans and the imbecile Hoover; wishes they could [appoint?] Wickham Steed as minister of Foreign Affairs in London, Paris, and Washington simultaneously; poor Herriot is caught up in financial German-American ties.

Institut Français du Royaume Uni - Has hand-carried the brochure that Madame Bohn wished her to have, and a receipt for the 1,000 frs she has given for the Roth conference; a date near the end of October-November 1927 would suit for the project she has in mind.
120 rue Emmanuel Liais, Cherbourg - In response to Frazer's letter about his article in the 'Revue de Paris', is happy it pleased him, he did not feel competent to write it but bowed to pressure from V. Bérard and Madame Frazer.
