He writes to his colleague that he does not want to see anyone, his address must stay secret as a silence of a grave ("silence de tombe") and requests not to disturb him although personally he is in a bad shape. Signed "Z" to keep his anonymity; folded once in the center, vf and seldom offered letter from the exile
