- ↑ The date copied out by Céleste Albaret is almost certainly incorrect. In a letter to Dr Pozzi [between 6 and 12 November 1914] (CP 05412), Proust confirms that he had received certificates from Dr Faisans and from his "usual doctor", Dr Bize. Lawrence Joseph draws attention to this "anomaly" in his article about Proust's letters to Samuel Pozzi (Bulletin Marcel Proust, no. 51, 2001, p. 28, n. 52). The most plausible hypothesis is that Céleste Albaret, making out a copy in early November, had inadvertently written "25 November" instead of "25 October". A date of 25 October would place this certificate alongside the first certificate signed by Dr Bize, which carries the date of 23 October (CP 05638). [FL, FP]
