"Dear friend, Didn't you receive the basket of plums I sent you , or is your mother still ill? Without news, I don't know what to think, but I sincerely hope it's simply an oversight on your part. I hardly need to tell you that if you are free from trouble or worry, the sight of your face would be most welcome. I am saddened by the weather. I can do nothing. The wind is destroying my paintings and my flowers. What a year! One last word. Yours sincerely, Claude Monet."
