MONET Claude (1840-1926)
L.A.S. "Claude Monet", Pourville Wednesday evening [19 February 1896?], to HIS WIFE ALICE| 4 pages in-8 on a letterhead in Giverny.
Nice letter before setting to work on the motif in Pourville near Dieppe.
He worries about his wife's health, to whom he recommends taking good care of herself... "As for me, I'm so tired I've walked and climbed for two days, my legs are definitely not so strong anymore. At last I have the certainty of working. That's the main point. Yesterday, with the splendid sunshine, I saw everything, and today, with the grey weather, I did the same peregrinations and know what I will do in one or the other weather. So I will be at work tomorrow first thing in the rain, which I am terribly nervous about"... He fears not being able to write every night to Alice: "it will always mean that the work is going well. It is definitely a superb place despite the horrible houses that have sprung up en masse and here one can at least look out to sea all day without being blinded". In the small pavilion he has "a small room at south, where I sleep, and a larger one with a balcony overlooking the sea. I have all the comforts of home here, and all the conveniences possible. But it is not the same kitchen as in the old days", and the butter is awful... He does not know if he will come on Sunday| he may need to take other paintings: "that will depend on the weather and on what I will have done by then"...
In Dieppe, he met THAULOW: "he may be a good boy but I am suspicious and he must be a spike"| when he is at
Paris, he wants to come and see Monet on his bicycle, "and he is big and tall"...
He ends by sending all his love to Alice and the children.
