Bernard NAUDIN (1876-1946). L.A.S., Saint-Quay-Portrieux May 28, 1918, to Steinlen; 2 pages in-4 (slight browning on 2nd page). He has come to rest, but feels "terribly lonely. I'm staying more or less quiet, and work is going a little. I've put together the illustrations for Le Neveu de Rameau, but who am I going to get to engrave that (!!) [...] I had some late illustrations (as always). I've been able to work for myself, and once I've got that sorted out, I'll come back to Paris, because despite everything I'm undermined & ravaged by melancholy - here". He'll visit him in Saint-Ay "& we'll piccolage under the arbour. [...] Ah! yes, to be together, - to get along- Ah! my poor old friend. I think it's only us and other simple folk who can achieve such a prodigious result"...
