  1. This letter is to thank Anna de Noailles for her telegram (on the subject of dealers in cork) of Monday [26 May 1919], received by Proust the same day, as is indicated by the sent and received post marks (see CP 03786; cf. Kolb, XVIII, no. 105). Having received it shortly after four o'clock (time stamp of receipt: 16:05), his reply could date from the same Monday 26 May, if he wrote his reply immediately, in the evening or at night, according to his usual habit. The post script however is slightly later, Proust having reread the note to decipher the address of the cork trader, which is difficult to read on account his correspondent's style of writing. Written at separate times this letter likely dates from 26 and 27 May 1919. [PK, FL]
