“My dear friend, You are falling into a bad moment. 1 , I was supposed to receive almost 5,000 francs. for which I was obliged to grant a period of three months. I won't receive them until 1st . You understand that this bothers me quite a bit. I'm very fair so far. If you could find the thousand francs refundable by this date, I will give them to you on July 2. So see if you can arrange it like that. All yours. G. Caillebotte. »
