“Monday, February 19, 1923
Dear Victor Margueritte
Forgive me for only thanking you today for your so friendly article on Annette and Sylvie. Being away from Paris and absorbed in work, I read it late. I recognized therein the kindness you showed me from my beginnings in the novel. I am all the more sensitive to it as it has been rare from my great elders. I count them and I do not forget them: You, Verhaeren, J. H. Rosny. I do not speak to you of the vileness that was done to you. Tartuffe rules. Tartuffe defends morality, as he defends the homeland. Tartuffe has, for ten years, found a way to satisfy his bloody resentments. Tartuffe can do anything; but Tartuffe cannot prevent me from despising Tartuffe.
Please believe, dear Victor Margueritte, in my affectionate gratitude
