  1. The letter that Jammes addressed to Proust after reading Du côté de chez Swann in November or December 1913 has not been found, but Proust quotes a long passage from it in a letter to Henri Ghéon [Friday 2 January 1914] (CP 02655; Kolb, XIII, no. 3). Proust explains in his letter to Paul Souday of 10 November 1919 (CP 03946; Kolb, XVIII, no. 266) that the episode in question is "a scene between two young girls," that is to say the sadism episode at Montjouvain (RTP, I, 157-163).
