Description | 'In response to your letter of January 30, I can only say that if we have any duplicate essays which we identify as by writers of French refugee descent, I will let you know about them; but I am not aware of any such, and without considerable search I fear we could not do anything to assist you directly in enriching your collection, and for such search I regret we have no chance of finding any spare time.'
