Correspondence from Véra Nabokov to Marie Schébéko, November 7, 1972 to February 26, 1973 ., November 7, 1972, February 26, 1973

 Item — Box: 6, Folder: 27

Scope and Contents

6 TLS (1 signed in Russian), in English and French, requesting changes to the contract with Gallimard. VN will back down if so advised by Schébéko, as he knows Gallimard is a man of principle, but "somehow all his principles work to his material advantage" (2.19.73). Notes that VN has found a potential translator for Transparent Things, and commiserates about the back problem they share.
