I have applied for admission to the Société des Gens de Lettres. I am asked to sign a declaration concerning the production of our works. Although I think that this reproduction could be very abundant with regard to Les Suppliants et Pleureurs. I wouldn't want to do anything without consulting you. I would therefore ask you to tell me to what extent I am bound in relation to reproductions of what is published, by me, by you. Thank you in advance... Henri BARBUSSE."
