My dear Lionel

I realize that the dates of my letters are sometimes the date of their writing, but not the date of their mailing. (Monsieur Delessert, administrator of the North, said: “Our trains rarely arrive on time but always leave at the time set on the timetable” [2]. I cannot even say the same of my letters, since I find on my table those which were intended for you.)[3] In the meantime, de Rothschild Frères are sending me the enclosed bulletin and statement[4] which may be useful to you. I am sending these just in case you need them and I am not replying to the Rothschild Banking House, since my answer will be precisely what you will have me sign.

Thousands of affectionate and grateful memories

Marcel Proust
