[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].

Marcel Proust

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. Note 3
  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.
