If I were posting "Essais I", I would give a choice of
N or S as the last letter.
Taking the whole title phonetically, the last letter of 96 is the -n of "Un" ("One").
(I guess Essais is a masculine, plural, so the "I" (part 1) is pronounced "Un". But the part-number could be ignored, so that S is the last letter.
