Includes a map of France with the front outlined, along with the Delannoy ration cards for sugar and gasoline, safe-passage documents for Paul and Jeanne (one set contains their black-and-white photographs), and insurance papers they signed recognizing the risk of war in areas they traveled. Three pieces of French paper money are attached to one page. The final page contains an undated poster from the Paris Chamber of Commerce regarding war loans. Though both Paul and Jeanne are represented in the papers, the majority of the documents were issued to Paul. It is not clear whether pages were removed from a larger volume.
