"Dear old man! Where is Delage? - I telegraphed him and asked him to press Ballot with the rest of my money collected for Petrousha. No answer! - Although it was sent with the P.R. I also wrote to Ballot two weeks ago - no reply! That's really a bit too much! [...] It is essential for me to receive this money incessantly in order to pursue Miquel's case.
