Claude DEBUSSY. L.A.S., November 29, 1903, [to an editor of Durendal, Catholic review of art and literature, Pol Demade?]; 1 page and a half in-8 at the address 58, rue Cardinet. He is very sensitive to his artistic sympathy: "I am indebted to you for the beautiful article that our friend from La Laurencie wrote in your magazine. - In spite of the personality it contains, I have to admit that nothing clearer has been written about what I am trying to do. If I had not voluntarily refrained from writing melodies, I would have had great pleasure in accepting your permission to set to music a few poems by the late Ch. de Sprimont; it is at least precious to me to possess his work, through your care. He hopes to meet his correspondent "on a forthcoming trip to Brussels"...
