L.A.S. to Gustave GEFFROY. Giverny, January 4, 1920. 2 pp. ½ bi-feuille in-8, heading to his address, purple ink| encloses his envelope.
Pessimistic letter from Monet asking about his friend. You are indeed in Paris and must have received my letter (addressed several weeks ago already) since you sent me your beautiful volume from the Louvre, for which I thank you very much. But that is not enough for me and I would be happy to receive a word from you (...). Here the year does not start well, my wife, who is quite suffering, has just been called to the bedside of one of her sisters (...) in short, worries, concerns| it is the lot of all those who are getting older. I don't think about work at all and see everything in black. As I'll be glad to know it's not the same for you. This is what I wish you with all my heart (...).
