  1. In a letter to Proust (which has not been found) probably dating from the second half of October 1914, Mme Catusse had asked him for some "tips" about a doctor whose name Proust had been unable to read with any certainty (Meslier?), as he indicated in his reply (see CP 02845; Kolb, XIII, no. 194). In the letter (also not found) to which Proust is replying here, Mme Catusse must have given him the name more legibly, otherwise Proust could not have considered asking Dr Bize for advice later. As the subject does not come up again in their letters to each other we do not know which doctor this concerns. Perhaps Mme Catusse was seeking information about a doctor from the military hospital at Montluçon where her son Charles had been treated in October 1914? - On the subject of the treatment received by Charles Catusse at Montluçon, see the letter to Mme Catusse of [17 October 1914] (CP 02827; Kolb, XIII, no. 176).
