“My dear Georges, I assure you that your letter takes an inevitable weight off my heart. Alas, I have others, more crushing every day, that nothing will ever take away. But finally, in the sense that this word can have, your letter caused me an inevitable happiness, not so much in this absence of crises which can be fortuitous as in this opinion from Gilbert that the operation was not necessary and especially in its urgency, which proves that we had made all of this too dark. May all the days that will come respond to this, the medical treatment suffice and in one way or another your mother finally looks at a life that your affection and your talent will make so sweet and so proud. With all my heart, Marcel. I discovered a delightful poet: his name is Lafontaine. »
