"I have read. You have talent, that's incontestable. Your play has the defects of the beginning.

Meaningful plays are the hardest to make"... - To a playwright, making specific remarks about his play Le Lien, before concluding: "All in all, qualities, hopes. Work hard, famous authors have learned the trade by doing numerous plays that are still sleeping in their drawers. Don't be discouraged, since you have excellent dialogue and scenic ideas"... - August 7, 1901], he will gladly read a manuscript. September 3, 1915.
