Encloses the subtitles to a film written by Mr and Mrs Henri Saint of Buenos Aires, about the Araucans; her husband [Alexandre Moret] judges it a valuable document, as they recorded what they saw; she has had troubles with the cinema, and the public did not have Part I when it was screened; there is a section with a priest that is not in the manuscript, as her husband found a copy in [Tomás] Guevara's work on Araucano folklore and has already sent it to Sir James; Mr and Mrs Lapie cannot come to lunch, but Mlle de Coubertin, [Joseph] Hackin, de Guimet, l'Abbé Drioton and [Maurice] Brillant will be there. Accompanied by a carbon copy typescript of the subtitles, entitled "Voyage de Mr et Mme Henri Saint, de Buenos-Aires, dans l'Amérique australe, en [added in ink:] 1923?" and three more pages of subtitles [?] entitled "Chez les Araucans du lac Lacar, péninsule de Quila-Quina, territoire argentin".
