From a letter to Pierre Jarnac (Michel Vallet) dated 22 May 1985, Pierre Plantard wrote the following about Philippe de Chérisey:

“You need to know only that I have no involvement whatsoever with the ‘deathless prose’ of Monsieur Philippe de Chérisey, who was the co-author with Monsieur Paul Rouelle of the book COURT-CIRCUIT, lodged with the B.N. (Bibliothèque nationale) in December 1984 or January 1985, which dragged my name through the mud.

The Marquis de Chérisey was a good friend of mine from university days, but I very often disapprove of his books which are really quite bizarre.”
