54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 18 May, he is worried about her silence after she announced her trip to Switzerland; is putting out a new survey for the Encyclopédia Française for Varagnac; their questionnaires have attracted the notice of ethologists and folklorists; he is not making as much progress in his map work as he could like; Varagnac asked for news and told him of the admiration of all his friends for 'Fear [of the Dead]' III. In the letter of 31 May, he says he will quote from the preface to 'Fear' III, to encourage his volunteers to embrace errors and not doubt their abilities, as his humility should be an example; his plans to go to the country are delayed; Martine [Giamarchi, his great niece] is very happy to have the picture magazine. In the letter of 9 June, he thanks her for her card pointing out that it has been 57 years since the composition of 'Plato’s Ideal' in 1879, and used the preface to 'Crainte' in speaking to his Normaliennes who are working on the ethnological and folklore surveys; he has written to Geuthner; there are two translations of Condorcet, Chouville and Mme de Pange.
