[Hamann was a partner of the gallery owner Georges Petit.] “I am still in Rouen, working like a slave, and do not yet know when I shall return to Giverny.” He cannot promise him “to be the first to see my paintings. For a long time now, Mr Durand-Ruel, Boussod, Montaignac and others have been singing the same old tune […] besides, I have decided not to sell what I bring back straight away, nor even to let them hold me back. Once I have looked at them for a while and retouched and refined them, I shall see which ones I shall keep and which ones I might sell.” But Hamann may come and see them “like everyone else, without keeping anything for the moment”…
