PROUST, Marcel (1871-1922), écrivain français. - Lot 96
PROUST, Marcel (1871-1922), écrivain français. L.A.S. "Marcel" to Louis d'Albufera. [Paris, April 13, 1904]. 2 pp. in-8. Headline of the daily newspaper Le Figaro. Blue pencil receipt "My little Albu (I am now watching my expressions), the Escholiers' Ball is a bit what you feared - but all the same. I'm as sick as a dog - and touched by the kindness of Flers [Robert de Flers] who wrote an article about me in La Liberté a month ago and never told me anything about it. The Russian disaster is alas true, a dreadful indication of the carelessness of these unfortunate people. The performance is taking place all the same, and you will read tomorrow in Le Figaro the fantastic letter advising the public that the performance is taking place all the same. To you with all my might (that's not much to say tonight because I've done a thousand stupidities and shivers). Marcel". The article by Robert de Flers that Proust mentions is an article on Alphonse Karr in which Flers praised the French translation of John Ruskin's Amiens Bible that Proust had just published.
