5 TL, in English to VéN, with 2 autograph calculations and 1 autograph record of a telephone conversation. Mostly re: the contract with Juilliard, possible translators for the short stories Juilliard is to publish (wonders about the translator of a recent story that has appeared in the French Playboy, and the status of Fayard's editions of VN's works (Ada, Look at the Harlequins!, Transparent Things and Mary). Discusses various other small contractual matters. Schébéko tenders her semi-resignation, as she has lost all interest in agenting since her husband's death, no longer feels she can do her job well.
