Changes made (Yorktaylors)
he did not like my books -> the latter did not like my books
thought highly of my books -> thought very highly of my books
Léon Daudet came to announce -> announce to me
it was like receiving a Christmas present in a year where I did not expect to receive any - it was like receiving a New Year's present at Christmas and in a year when no presents had been expected
immoral tendencies -> immoral aspects
quite involuntarily - quite unintentionally
wait before publishing them -> wait so as to publish them
spent a fortune -> was financially ruined (a somewhat exaggerated claim often made by Proust)
my editor -> my publisher
it is unfortunate to receive prizes at an age where one is more likely to be awarded - [Not 100% sure about this so I just added "awarded them" - open for discussion]
I've ever had the chance to be -> I ever had any chance of becoming
I had not yet sent my book -> haven't yet
I sent an incomplete version -> I didn't send the full set [There wasn't an incomplete version of Jeunes filles en fleurs, but Proust sent 2 copies to Mme de Régnier, a later edition first, then a first edition when he was able to find one]
Please let me know what you think -> yor opinion
without the first editions -> through lack of first editions
