Eugène BOUDIN. L.A.S., Paris October 20, 1892, to Mme MARTIN; 2 1/2 pages in-8 in purple ink. He was back in Paris, when he received her "offer to take the two paintings bequeathed by our late friend. Please do me the pleasure, since you are still staying in your little apartment, of hanging them on the wall when you have removed those bequeathed to various people... you will oblige me well and I will have the pleasure of going to ask you for them on my return"... He had intended to return to Le Havre, but "the cold became intense and all I wanted to do was go home and keep warm... It's just that we're getting old and I don't want to jeopardize the few days I still have left on earth by compromising my health - I've seen too many unfortunate examples. So here I am, warm and comfortable... I'm asleep and already overwhelmed with work, and I barely have time to eat and drink"... He thinks of her, "very busy with your difficult liquidation"...
