[1]

Dear Lucien,

Feeling very unwell today I can only write you these few words to tell you how very sorry I was yesterday to be out when your letter arrived[2], and returned too late to be able to answer you meaningfully[3]. Enclosed is a letter I've had ready for you for two days, which I opened and am sending to you in the same envelope as this one.[4].

Your

Marcel Proust

[5] [6]

Notes

  1. ↑ This note must date from 2 or 3 February, 1915: references to the previous letter to Lucien Daudet (CP 02902; Kolb, XIV, no. 13) "I've had ready for you for two days", and to the outing "yesterday" (see footnote 3). [PK]
  2. ↑ Letter has not been found. [FL]
  3. ↑ In a letter dated 1 February 1915 to Mme Scheikevitch (CP 02904; Kolb, XIV, no. 15), Proust explains that since October 1914 he has only been able to get up once "and only at midnight", as he also writes in his letter to Lucien Daudet of [30 or 31 January 1915] (CP 02902; Kolb, XIV, no. 13), but he adds that he does not despair of being able to get up to go and pay a visit to his correspondent. The outing "yesterday" mentioned in this note, which caused Proust to miss Daudet's letter (and potentially his visit?), is therefore a new outing, which must have taken place on the evening of Monday 1st or Tuesday 2nd February 1915. [PK, FL]
  4. ↑ The letter that we dated [30 or 31 January 1915] (CP 02902; Kolb, XIV, no. 13) was part of the same lot as this one during the sale of Proust's letters to Lucien Daudet at Christie's on 27 November 1996, indicating that they must have been kept by the recipient (and his heirs) in the same envelope.
