Description
In this typewritten letter Dermee proposes to Lipchitz to begin a 'chain letter' where people should send a letter to anybody in order to keep the 'chain' going. Here is the text of this 'chain letter' itself: 'Voici une chaine precieuse, je ne le briserai pas. On s'expose certainement au mauvais sort en ne traversant pas avec precaution les passages a niveau. Cette chaine a des millions aux noms illustres; vous voudrez bien en assurer la continuite'. Dermee attaches the list of people who participated in this particular chain.
