Dear All,

In view of a letter written by Alexander Grothendieck on January 3, 2010, giving a kind of interdiction on further publication of any of his writings or correspondence, in any form, I would like to make the following clear.

I started corresponding with Alexander in 1982; this turned into a friendly and warm correspondence, which he later termed `a baton rompu', There's a totally different meaning for baton rompu I wonder which came first and how the tranmogrificatio occurred
