« Orléans Dec. 1964
Dear friend
The proposed type could be suitable in style, but to me it looks rather small. I would prefer Cheltenham body 9. We will retain for our use 1000 copies and will contribute to the costs in proportion if you wish. I met Michel yesterday in Lille and I am awaiting him here soon for our tour in
favor of the prisoners
I hope to see you soon, perhaps at Christmas.
My best wishes to you and yours »
