TLS to Madame D. Ergaz from Vladimir Nabokov, November 21, 1957 ., November 21, 1957

Written from Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca NY, in French, thanking Ergaz for various letters and contracts that he has signed and is returning, save for the Gallimard contract, to which he objects. Mentions threat by G. to publish a limited edition of Lolita in the US, and hopes Ergaz has explained to G. that it will be easy for VN to have such an edition seized, and that VN will not hesitate to do so. Is interested in a legal opinion on his rupture with Olympia. Despairs of the Lolita translation. In a postscript referring to a new demand of G.'s, claims that he sees no reason to grant G. anything at all. Pencil annotation, possibly by the agent.
