He has not had time to finish reading his work, and is leaving for St. Germain and will not return till Thursday. "I am taking your manuscript with me, which I shall read at my leisure there..." - He promises to bring his article the next day, to himself or to M. Escudier. "You know, my dear friend, that for several reasons, which have their importance for me, & which I will tell you, I will not be allowed to sign it. We will put any initials, or a pseudonym"... Sunday morning, to a director. "You reassure me entirely beyond my merits. I'll get back to work"... Tuesday evening, to Mrs Zimmerman: "I answer your lobster with the blackest ingratitude. [...] I cannot give you tickets from the center. Here are two amphitheatres, that's all I can offer you"... Monday, March 17, to a young lady: "I will be delighted to hear from you"...
