Working note from Jean Paulhan sent to Jacques Rivière (1921) and responses from Jacques Rivière

July 1921

August 1st issue

Here is the note that Roger Allard gave me on the death of Jean Pellerin. Will you send it to Paillart, and tell me if we put it at the top of the notes. (The one on Gasquet coming immediately after?)

It was far too late to change the order: Duhamel has been composing for six days (directly on pages). So I follow order 2: Gide, Duhamel, Chevrier, Aragon, Peniakoff.

(I had misunderstood a word from you "Duhamel in place of Hamp..."; I thought that you must also adhere to a certain hierarchical order.. It is obvious that order 1 was preferable.)

Note from August 1, with the responses of Jacques Rivière.

Miscellaneous
The move went well. But we don't have any shelves yet.	Weren’t those from Rue Madame transported?
Here's this stupid issue of the Decade. I went to talk to Bernouard about it, quite confused, who assured me that it was a pure coincidence, that he would rectify it, etc.	You did well.
Would you like to receive your month at Treize-Arbres, or take it while passing through Paris?	No: I will take it.
Yes, I asked Delagrave for the Academic Speeches. No response so far.	We should insist by indicating that Thibaudet's chronicle is reliable. In any case send him the 1st volume.
I will have the results of Coquet's work in 3 days.	Essential for the circulation figure: deduct the number of examples from 5300. in storage deleted.
The Bibliographies and envelopes have been sent to you.	Not received yet.
In which number of the R. of Geneva, Halévy's article? I haven't received anything yet.	In the last issue, I think. Claim it: if it comes too late, we will report the next one. times.
The English translation of My life has not yet arrived.
Here is the news from Ewerz  and a letter from Dalby.
Here is a letter from Roger Martin du Gard. I refuse to announce the new director of Ecrits nouvelles.	I will write to R. M. du Gard
