My dear friend, thank you again and always! I am receiving the two issues of Rappel. Do you forgive me for this childishness of wanting to see with my own eyes the beautiful announcement you generously gifted me? I cannot regret it because I admire it for its excellent proportions and good typographical arrangement, perfect as everything that comes from you and as everything found in the poet's house. Ah! You can be certain that you have given me great pleasure! The note is also perfect! After all this, if my book does not sell, it is its own fault.
To you, with all my heart.
