Fold marks inherent to the mailing.
The correspondent and biographer of the general had returned documents to him in order to document the work he intended to write about Maxime Weygand, who acknowledges receipt.
However, Maxime Weygand shows surprise at the interest he arouses and attempts to dissuade his correspondent from his undertaking: "Mais cette étude sur le Gal W. écrivain, c'est un sujet qui a bien peu de substance ! Vous avez trop de générosité en l'entreprenant, il faut y renoncer." ("But this study on General W. as a writer, it is a subject with very little substance! You are too generous in undertaking it, you must give it up.")
