Reynaldo Hahn to Marcel Proust [shortly before 5 March 1915?]
Nothing could be crappier than this portrait. I'm shending it for yor amusement[2].
I know that the Widow has been to see you[3]: I am just picturing to myself everything that surrounded, preceded, marked and followed this visit. There is a cold here that makes everything more difficult, more slow – and more sad; I spent the last few days with Commandant Cuny five kilometers away from here (and at ease as well[4]) and have just come back. So many things I could tell you about! But it would take Mirbeau et Courteline both[5] to give you an exact idea. – It seems that Robert is no longer around here[6]. –
