“Busy man [...] ZOLA had told me that you were currently working on the third edition of *St Antoine* (is that true?) and I had come to tell you to keep an eye on the corrections. But I didn’t need the list of said corrections, which I am returning to you. Did the same Zola tell me he had seen an article from *Le Pays* on *Salammbô* at your place?”...
