The earlier letter is written to the wife of the publisher Maurice Delamain, concerning an offer Rosny cannot accept, probably concerning a publication, and suggesting to postpone the project: "J'ai voulu examiner toutes mes possibilités avant de vous écrire : je suis enchaîné. Peut-être plus tard [...] pourrions-nous entreprendre quelque chose, car je trouve l'idée assez séduisante". - In the letter from 1937, Rosny congratulates Jacques Chardonne, a writer and publisher at Stock, on his latest novel "Romanesques".
