Transcription française (Original) 

Menton le 15 mars 28
Cher ami,
Je vien de recevoir les livres. Très bien, tes eaux-fortes très belles, dignes et décidées. Je était temps, j’allais partir sans les livres, demain je p. le [inintelligible] (seul) et après quelques arrêts j’arrive à Paris où nous réglerons ce qu’il y a encore à rêgler. J’y reste un deizaine de jour pleins.
Mme Bucher m’a envoyé une missive me demandant de signer les exemplaires
Et d’autre part cédant a un mauvais conseil de son esprit mal fait et à une conception abolument erronée, elle m’envoie 2 ex. numérotés et 3 non-numérotés tout cela contrairement à nos conventions. Je me verrai donc obligé de refuser. Et si le prix de vent lui paraît trop bas elle n’a qu’à l’augmenter sur ses risques et périls. 
Mais ce sont de futilités. Es-tu à Paris ? Aussitôt arrivé je te téléphonerai. Je t’envoie toutes mes grandes amitiés.
Ton TZARA
Mille choses à Alice


English translation

Dear friend,
I have just received the books. Very good, your etchings are truly beautiful, dignified, and resolute. It was just in time; I was about to leave without the books. Tomorrow, I take the [inintelligible] (alone) and after a few stops, I'll arrive in Paris where we will settle what remains to be settled. I will stay there for ten days. Mrs. Bucher has sent me a letter asking me to sign the copies And on the other hand, succumbing to a bad advice from her ill-formed mind and a completely mistaken conception, she sends me 2 numbered copies and 3 unnumbered ones, all of this contrary to our agreements. I will therefore find myself obliged to decline. And if the selling price seems too low to her, she should increase it at her own risks and perils.
But these are trivialities. Are you in Paris? As soon as I arrive, I will call you. I send you all my warm regards.
Yours, TZARA
Give my regards to Alice

Traducción al español :
 
Estimado amigo,

Menton, 15 de marzo de 1928
Acabo de recibir los libros. Muy bien, tus aguafuertes son muy hermosos, dignos y decididos. Fue oportuno, estaba a punto de irme sin los libros, mañana cojo el [ilegible] (solo) y después de algunas paradas llegaré a París, donde resolveremos lo que todavía queda por arreglar. Me quedaré alrededor de diez días completos.
La señora Bucher me ha enviado una carta pidiéndome que firme los ejemplares 
Y por otro lado, cediendo a un mal consejo de su mente trastornada y a una concepción completamente equivocada, me envía 2 ejemplares numerados y 3 sin numerar, todo esto en contra de nuestros acuerdos. Por lo tanto, me veré obligado a rechazarlo. Y si considera que el precio de venta es demasiado bajo, que lo aumente bajo su propio riesgo. 
Pero son trivialidades. ¿Estás en París? En cuanto llegue, te llamaré por teléfono. Te envío mis más sinceros saludos.
Tuyo, TZARA
Envía mis saludos a Alice
