SIGNAC Paul (1863-1935)
L.A.S. "P. Signac", Thursday [Lézardrieux 24 August 1923], to Henri DONIAS, in Paris| 2 pages in-8, headed Société des Artistes indépendants, envelope.
"Thank you, capitani| it's nice of you to have - among so many worries - thought of sending us this document. It did us a favor, because we were just yelling at each other about questionable moves. Now we have the law!
Obviously this code written by a bistro, is not in a Flaubert style, but it is all the more funny"... They have just had four days of rain and a strong south wind, "which, unfortunately for the painter, does not make sea here". He continues to breathe badly. "According to
Brandès, - very moved by the Ford projects - I thought your parents had already left for Nice. That's why I didn't answer
Thorndike's letter. Tell him to excuse me and give them all our regards, taking a share of it". And to wish him "good trip, Capitani Sebofa
Sabipas!"... [The painter Henri Donias was the son of Henriette Thorndike, the wife of the American painter Charles THORNDIKE].
