Beautiful letter from Segalen, during his third Chinese stay in 1917, thanking his Maybon friend by offering him an off-trade print of steles. Maybon, I was waiting to write to you, a moment of less uncertainty. The wait goes on, "on the eve" always to resolve. Decided to break up, I do not want to let go and hope myself in an eighty, to be fixed. That is to say that I do not know, today, when or for how long I will be staying again or going to shanghai. I remember you didn't intend to leave him this summer, and so hope, firmly, to see you again, before winning the goal on. This is the only interest I have in this metropolis of the godown, of which only you, Madame maybon and you, and the few people you introduced me to, have made it possible for me to live.

I remain loyally grateful to you for that. I have searched in vain in my luggage here for some decent copy of one of my books that can be offered to you, - and have found to my great regret only this print of "steles", on paper too European, but belonging to the first edition out of trade. I beg you to accept it in the absence of the one I'd so much like to sign you on rare paper. Accept, I beg you, Mrs Maybon, my most respectful tributes and believe in my sincere sympathy.
