stub book
In the absence of more context:
Consider a booklet of perforated sheets having some kind of voucher or ticket one one side and and a stub (on the bound side) which serves a record for the signatory. In a banking context, this might be a typical cheque-book.
The corresponding terms in French are 'volante' (for the voucher, ...) and 'souche' for the stub. The complete book is called a 'souchier'.

Discussion
As Daryo says, there is some other context. If you post the text surrounding the word, we might just be able to help you. Thanks!
The whole letter is part of the "context", as would be all previous correspondence about the same matter ...
