“Dear sir, I called you this morning and I was told that you were traveling. I hope to see you again soon to comment together the main theme of the challenge . The more I go, the more I persuade myself that without the daily assistance of suicide life would be impracticable. Let's sweep these twenty centuries which separate us from those who exalted it. Well friendly to you. »»

The challenge was initially published in 1965, at the editions of the Round Table.
