TLS to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, October 15, 1957 ., October 15, 1957

Written from Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca NY, in French, expressing great disappointment not only with the conduct of Girodias, who VN claims has not only been lax in paying the royalties due him, but has also acted in bad faith since the beginning of their relationship (he cites a number of examples, including G.'s about-face on the subject of British publication, as well as his negotiations with American publishing houses), but also with Ergaz, who has reproached VN for his indignation and failed to answer his concerns regarding the translation of Lolita. Suggests that Ergaz has received a twisted version of events from Girodias, and attempts to put her straight. Some underlining in pencil.
