Léautaud writes to Marcel Lebarbier his publisher at Editions de la Belle Page who had published earlier that year his volume of chronicles entitled Villégiature. He asks for his author's royalties: « Je n'ai votre lettre que ce matin mercredi. On peut très bien faire un mandat carte au nom de Maurice Boissard au Mercure. Le facteur me l'apportera fort bien car on me l'enverra dans mon bureau aussitôt. Même s'il fallait toucher à la poste qui ne manque pas d'enveloppes à mon nom. Mais une chose plus simple : vous venez à Paris prochainement Vous pourrez m'apporter mes droits vous-même et je vous donnerai un reçu. Mais le mandat carte est très possible si cela va mieux dans vos arrangements. Je n'ai pas écrit à Madame Lebarbier cette affaire n'étant pas à un jour près.» ""I only received your letter this morning Wednesday. One can very well make a money order card in the name of Maurice Boissard at the Mercure. The postman will bring it to me quite well as they will send it to my office immediately. Even if one had to collect it at the post office which does not lack envelopes in my name. But something simpler: are you coming to Paris soon You could bring me my royalties yourself and I will give you a receipt. But the money order card is very possible if that works better with your arrangements. I did not write to Madame Lebarbier this matter not being urgent."" unknown
