Description

  • Autograph letter signed ("Marcel Proust (toujours au lit)"), [to Madame Catusse]
2 pages, 8vo, [Paris, probably summer 1908]
thanking her for her letter and its "witty" proposition for a satirical article about Jules Lemaître, complaining that it has been a year since he had any contact with Robert de Flers but promising to send her letter on to him ("cela aurait fait un joli article. Il en restera du moins une très jolie lettre")

Literature

Kolb VIII, number 97. Kolb dates this letter to summer 1908 from Proust's reference to the year which has passed since he had news of de Flers.
