Scope and content

Letter from Françoise Dumas, in manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 16 February 1967, advising that she is not in a position to communicate any information on the Fècamp hoard. Her department does not have all the coins as some are still in the hands of the courts. There will be a trial, and until that happens, she is bound to maintain silence, but if IS were to be going through Paris, she is able to show him the coins they have so that he may form some idea of the hoard.
We can not at present communicate any information on the treasure of Fecamp. We do not have all the pieces; Some are still in the hands of the courts, and there is a trial, and since this trial will be held, we are bound to silence. If, on the other hand, you go through Paris, I would be happy to show you the pieces so that you can get an idea
