Thursday[1]
102 Haussmann boulevard
Dear Sir,
"He has showered me with goods, he wants to burden me with them” [2] ».
I really didn't expect this certificate[3]. Although, I will always be glad to have it as a souvenir[4]. But in any case, the charming card - charming in its kindness and style - will be preciously kept[5]. At any rate, there was no hurry for this certificate. But "a gift given quickly is worth twice as much ", as the Romans used to say. By being so quick to be munificent , you have been doubly generous[6]. And I am doubly grateful.
Dear Sir, please accept, my tributes of respectful gratitude and deep fondness.
Marcel Proust
