Autographed letter signed addressed to his friend Madame Duchâteau. There is some ink damage on part of it.

The letter remains entirely readable. A very beautiful letter testifying to a deep friendship with a woman. The painter tries to reassure his friend – his family has been taken from him beyond the sea – while sharing his anxiety: "You are now at the mercy of the waves of fate with all the worries and solitude to come." "As for me, I am with you.

I feel close to you, I accompany you. The dedication I wrote for you is quite fitting. I have composed three full acts and have already started the fourth.

I believe this dramatic satire will not displease you. You are the ghost, that is to say, the return of the living past among the modern dead." His friend will see Pauline, who is taking care of Émile Bernard's apartment. He asks her not to forget his canary and "above all, to close the window, as it might catch cold at night.

" He wants her to take "this companion of mine" home with her. To check if water is leaking from the neighbor above. He made a trip to Tanlay that was "enchanting.

" He has written several pieces. "Since the rain has made me a prisoner, I have written a long, long poem - René - that I will share with you. You believe and have God.

" That she sees her son escape this war.
