MONET Claude (1840-1926).
L.A.S. "Claude Monet", [Rouen] Tuesday evening [March 21, 1893], to his wife Alice MONET| 2 1/2 pages in-8.
Letter to his wife, while he is working on his paintings of the
Rouen Cathedral, worrying about his garden at
Giverny.
"What admirable weather, my darling, you are right to be delighted, for I'm digging so hard that I'm exhausted, having stopped only long enough to have lunch, barely able to take the time to see what I've done. I wrote to Caillebotte yesterday and Durand too, and even last night, when my anger had calmed a little, I wrote at length to Rouart. For me, all this comes a lot from Father Malassis.
This morning I met Lapierre, who will personally deliver my petition to the Prefect. So I'm going to write it tonight before going to bed. What a lot of trouble for so little. At least I hope Picard isn't standing still for this, there are some earthworks he can still do. No one has the right to stop me moving earth until I've dug to a certain depth. I'd like to know if Father Colomb is doing what I said, and if the trellis is finally going to be laid. Then finally the Keruel [Quéruel] solution. I'm afraid of the cold, especially for the tigridias and the last onions planted. You'll have to talk to Eugène and tell me what the degrees are at night.
With this fine weather, you must be less bored, and it's likely that Marthe will be back soon. As for me, if I'm lucky enough to have this kind of weather during the week, it'll be good for me. It's going pretty well everywhere. Some people don't come easily. He received two letters from SARGENT. "I'm very tired and have little appetite"...
