"My dear Jouhandeau, No, no, you have not misunderstood. It is now that you misunderstand by fearing that you have displeased me with a proposition which, on the contrary and at any other time, would have greatly seduced me. But I received your letter two days before a rather serious operation that has kept me hooded since Christmas; I am just beginning to understand that I am still alive, to reconnect with the outside world. This planned evening must be postponed to a much later date.

I will return to Cuverville as soon as I am able to travel; until then, I will hardly leave my chaise longue or armchair, and if you have a moment, you will please me by coming to tell me that the misunderstanding caused by my silence no longer exists. No need to announce yourself. Marcel Jouhandeau - Correspondence with André Gide. Marcel Sautier Editions, 1958 - Letter 16, page 25.
