He confirms Barrault's commitment, then on tour abroad: "You were willing on Saturday morning to delay until the beginning of May your response to the solicitations to which you (and your play) are subject on the other hand. We had counted on this. I'm delighted that Jean-Louis was so quick to accept your request. I think you have time to work out the details of your additional wishes: actors, decorator etc. and that, transmitted without delay, you receive J.-L. Barrault's agreement to them before the end of the deadline"... [The play will be premiered at the Comédie-Française].
