Paris Mardi [March 29].

MIRBEAU"... * Petit Gennevilliers May 28th. Another impediment for Thursday, a dinner "at the mother-in-law's house". [...] Make arrangements with RENOIR-if there's no way to change the day, get rid of
me"...
Petit Gennevilliers June 24th. He's hoping that Monet's painting is in there... "it's a beautiful weather here I've got a lot of things going on but we're not doing what we want to do. Well, if time continues, I hope it will bring something out of it. I assume you read "Earth"... * July 6th. "Send out the measure of your oars. The measure that is needed is the width between the 2 systems", and he makes a small sketch. "I leave Friday night for Le Havre, where I'll stay until Tuesday"... * July 20th. "Your oars are on their way"| we'll leave them at the lock at Port-Villez. "I have finally bought, after much ado, the land next to me. I'm having a workshop built and I have no other home than the little Gennevilliers"
...
