Charming letter to a director at Librairie Stock, probably Maurice Delamain, concerning Raymonde Vincent's novel "Campagne". Némirovsky informs the recipient that she is not on the jury of the Prix Femina and thus will be unable "to act effectively" on behalf of the book. She will, however, read it for her "personal pleasure" and scolds the recipient for not having sent her his most recent publication. The letter in full: "Je ne fais pas partie du jury Femina et je le regrette puisque cela me prive d'agir avec efficacité pour un livre que vous aimez, mais pour mon plaisir personnel et celui de mes amis, je lirai 'Campagne' dont on me dit par ailleurs beaucoup de bien.
