VERLAINE Paul (1844-1896).
L.A.S. "P. Verlaine", 27 June 1890, to Mme SOULEY-DARQUÉ in Auteuil| 3 pages in-12 in pencil on hospital administrative paper, address (small cracks in fold).
Letter from Cochin Hospital.
He entered the hospital "the very next day after the day I had the honor and pleasure of seeing you, that is, Thursday of the other week. I'm in
Woillez, bed n°29, Dr Beaumetz's department, for how long? It will depend a little on my health and a lot, a lot on Savine, my new publisher who owes me more than 300 francs. If he keeps his promises, I will be saved, (for I am on the verge of a job), and that by my own efforts, - which is better than all the protectors and subscriptions in the world!" He asks for the address of Mmes Soulé and Trébuchon: "These ladies have been so kind to me, truly, that I owe them an apology for a thousand unintentional inaccuracies, and I am ready for all the honourable fines in the world. When you see either of them, convey to them my best remembrance and my promise of a visit to be forgiven." He saw Mr. Colombier: "I have no doubt that thanks to him and by asking him first, you will be able to enter the hospital triumphantly, on a day other than Thursday or Sunday, -
days of congestion when one cannot talk seriously, - and stay as long as you like, without worrying about the time at which to enter or leave - and I await your good visit"...
