Michel MONET (1878-1966) son of the painter Claude Monet. 8 L.A.S., London and Folkestone, [1899-1900] to his "Maman chérie" [his mother-in-law Alice Hoschedé]; 26 pages in-8, a letter in English.

Michel Monet has been in London since the spring of 1899 and gives news of him to his mother-in-law. He often complains about the dreadful weather and inquires about the weather in Giverny; he thanks letters sent by his half-sisters Germaine and Blanche Hoschedé; he has to meet his half-brother Jean-Pierre in Boulogne. He visits Sargent and talks about the Darley family, whose portrait Sargent has painted. He is looking for a hotel for his parents in Folkestone: "there is only one that could suit you, the one by the sea where we had lunch last year"; he is looking forward to their arrival in September, before his departure for America.
