To a fellow writer, informing him that he will receive copies of his recent novel "La Course au bonheur" and asking him to read the book: "Vous recevrez prochainement si vous ne les avez reçus déjà, des exemplaires de mon dérnier roman du figaro, La Course au bonheur. Voudrez vous être assez - je ne dirai pas seulement aimable, mais surtout complaisant pour le parcourir? Il n'est pas long. Ce sera vite fait. Et je vous en serait reconnaissant".

As Mary states, "La Course au bonheur" appeared in "Le Figaro" between 3 and 26 June. The letter probably relates to its publication in book form later that year.
