“My dear friend, You’ve come at a bad time. I was due to receive nearly 5,000 francs on April 1st, for which I was forced to grant a three-month extension. I won’t receive it until July 1st . You can understand that this is quite inconvenient for me. I’ve been very tight-fisted so far. If you could find the 1,000 francs that can be repaid by that date, I will give them to you on July 2nd. See if you can arrange it that way. Yours truly, G. Caillebotte. ”
