  1. After remaining without news about Bertrand de Fénelon for a long time and hoping that he had just been taken prisoner, around February or March 1915 his family and his friends learn that a witness had seen him fall, mortally wounded, and there were further indications in the weeks to come. In a letter to Lauris dated [Saturday 13 March 1915] (CP 02927; Kolb, XIV, no. 38), Proust, who had just seen the announcement of his death in the Figaro "understood that he would never see Bertrand again" and that to publish such an announcement "they must have been sure".
