Pierre LOUŸS. 2 L.A. (minutes), [1895 ?]-1896, to his brother Georges Louis; 2pages and a quarter in-8. Interrogation in veiled terms, in which Louÿs suspects his brother Georges of being his father: "Georges, just remember this: the most poignant question I can ask you has been on my lips for ten years. I can guess both the truth, and your answer, which don't add up, because you can't answer me. I'll never tell you. But you mustn't, later on, have lived without knowing that I haven't stopped thinking about it." November 8, 1896. "If I were only writing to you "so that you would answer me", I certainly wouldn't have sent my last letter. But I want you to know what I think, even when I think wrongly or when you can't help it. I believe that circumstances have little to do with people's happiness. One is born sad or happy; I was born sad, there's nothing to be done about it." Attached are 2 early L.A.S. in English, signed "Peter Louis", Dizy June 27, 1879 and [1884?], earliest known letters to his brother Georges.
