"I had transmitted your invitation to Pierre Louÿs last Tuesday, asking him to choose a next day, this young and already famous writer being very much in demand in the square! I have not yet received an answer and I want to tell you how much I deplore this state of affairs! Besides, I am asking him to write to me again and if it takes too long, I will go to Magny alone. I am happy to see your mother well again, first of all because of her, and secondly, for you, to whom, after the sorrow, this could only have brought disorder into your life...".
