Pierre LOUŸS. L.A.S. "Pierrot", Paris October 27, 1896, to his former governess Mme Elisa Prot, in Igny-le-Jard (Marne); 4pages in-8 on Restaurant Maire letterhead, envelope. He understands her sadness. "Losing those you love is everyone's life [...] It's certain that no one will ever give me back my poor Paul [his brother who died in 1884] [...] And yet after his death, I transferred to Georges all the affection I had for him. I love Georges for two reasons [...] He's someone I love more than anyone and will never love enough. That's what you should do. [...] Think more about the living; it's also a way of praying for the dead"... He invites her to come and spend a few days in Paris when he has moved in, to "talk longer about all those we have loved"...
