"Chauvière et d'autres amis communs vous prient bien de tâcher que Clemenceau recommande au professeur qui a la chaire de Russe au Collège de France et à la Sorbonne, notre ami Gregorieff comme aide. Il paraît qu'avec un mot de Rochefort et de Clemenceau il serait immédiatement accepté [...]" ["Chauvière and other mutual friends earnestly ask you to try to have Clemenceau recommend our friend Gregorieff as assistant to the professor who holds the Russian chair at the Collège de France and at the Sorbonne. It appears that with a word from Rochefort and Clemenceau he would be immediately accepted [...]."]
