I have discovered you all over again in the long letter that you took the trouble to write me, which touched and amused me. I hope writing it did not cause you too much fatigue and as for me I assure you it was delightful to read. I felt like I was chatting to you. So I am replying to what you tell me. I assure you that our melancholies have much in common, since they likely have the same causes, and that our general disenchantment comes from the cataclysm that we are witnessing. Do not say that your moral state is incurable, because you are young, and you can hope to witness a rebirth, whereas I will not be given the time; I can only end my days in sadness. In spite of that I try to function still, I call upon my energies in the belief that I still have a little left, I work in an effort to convince myself that I am interested in it, but mostly so as not to think about anything else
