(1) Written from the Palace Hôtel, Montreux, in French and English, concerning the translated text of Pale Fire.

Reiterates impossibility of notes for this particular novel. Adds that the texture of this translation "is a marvel, a masterpiece, limpid, stylish and taut. It is a great compliment to my novel, and I am very grateful." (2) Typescript of corrections "made on page proofs of Feu Pale." 5 pages. Some pencil annotations.
