Julien Green thanks Thierry Maulnier, one of the rare defenders of his play l'Ennemi recently staged at the théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens: "je n'oublierai pas ce que vous avez fait pour ma pièce alors qu'elle était si vivement attaquée. Vous avez su en parler avec la valeur de la vraie critique et je vous prie de croire que, si je suis si sensible aux compliments que vous voulez bien me faire, je ne suis pas du tout aveugle aux interprétations de cette oeuvre difficile." ("I will not forget what you did for my play when it was so vigorously attacked. You knew how to speak about it with the value of true criticism and I beg you to believe that, if I am so sensitive to the compliments you are kind enough to pay me, I am not at all blind to the interpretations of this difficult work.")
Julien Green acknowledges the weight of Thierry Maulnier's favorable intervention: "Si, comme je l'espère, elle arrive à se frayer un chemin jusqu'à son vrai public, ce sera en grande partie à vous que le devrai. De toute manière, et quel que soit le sort de l'Ennemi, je vous suis reconnaissant de votre geste..." ("If, as I hope, it manages to find its way to its true audience, it will be largely thanks to you. In any case, and whatever the fate of l'Ennemi, I am grateful for your gesture...")

Julien Green complains of not having been paid for one of his contributions to La table ronde, the literary review of which Thierry Maulnier is the director: "Vous vous souviendrez que je vous ai donné, au début de 1946, des pages de journal que vous avez publiées dans le numéro de mars de la Table Ronde. Or, ces pages ne m'ont jamais été réglées. Il n'y a là, sans aucun doute, qu'un oubli et je vous serais reconnaissant de vouloir bien donner les ordres nécessaires pour qu'il soit réparé." (You will remember that I gave you, at the beginning of 1946, diary pages that you published in the March issue of La Table Ronde. However, these pages have never been paid for. There is undoubtedly nothing more than an oversight here, and I would be grateful if you would kindly give the necessary orders for it to be corrected.)

"I asked Plon to go to Bravura's Denise (sic) for illustrations of my diary in my" complete works. "It sounds curious to illustrate a newspaper, but here and there allusions to landscapes that can provide the desired pretext. "
Julien Green praises the quality of Denyse de Bravura's work : "You know how much I admire his talent.This gouache that I have in front of me is a little masterpiece of delicacy and poetry ".
