Paris May 13, 1884, 2 pages in-8° " Nothing new however I notice a certain tranquility at Durand, he assured me to have obtained from the union the faculty to pay by fraction it is obviously an advantage, but on the other hand it will be the prolongation of the crisis, will we be able to go until the end? Renoir came this morning, he will publish the summary of the grammar of the arts immediately in order to spread it as quickly as possible to friends; the great publication - remaining a certain time of preparation, will appear only later. Sisley came to Paris yesterday and left the same day, I did not see him. Finally I was able to get a few pennies, so little to live on for three or four days in Eragny, I am at the last limit, I will be forced to sell at any cost, because I receive letter after letter from my wife exposing me all her distress [...] I am wasting my time here, I will try to leave this week at least I will work! - Autograph letter signed and addressed to Claude Monet. Paris, May 15, 1884, 1 1/2 pages in-12°. "My dear Monet. Nothing new. The Durand affair has obviously been postponed or modified as I suspected. Durand is calmer and assured me that I could leave, as you well think I return to Eragny with very few resources to face the creditors; at least I will work a little.
