The collection consists of two sets of correspondence: letters from the writer Mikhail Osorgin to Sarach, and copies of letters written by Sarach to Nikolaĭ P. Vakar during the German occupation of Paris. Sarach remained in Paris during this period, and his letters to Vakar recount -- in a rather cryptic fashion -- the activities of "Poslednie Novosti" associates and such events as apartment searches and censorship. There is an explanatory letter by V.P. Velḿin on the letters by Sarach.
