Fold marks inherent to the letter's envelope placement, envelope included.
André Frénaud expresses his discontent at being so poorly perceived in the literary world and, in an effort to be better regarded, he appeals to Georges Raillard regarding his latest work L'étape dans la clairière: "... je vous l'adresse comme une approche par l'auteur, très subjective donc et unilatérale, pas du tout une interprétation officielle et complète !!! mais cela vous intéressera peut-être pour éclairer sinon une intention préalable au poème du moins une analyse chemin faisanrt et après coup." ["... I send it to you as an approach by the author, very subjective therefore and unilateral, not at all an official and complete interpretation!!! but this might interest you to illuminate if not a prior intention to the poem at least an analysis in the making and after the fact."]
