“Dear Sir, While passing through Paris I found your kind letter of October 8 as well as the clipping of an article that you wrote to report on my latest exhibition. I thank you very much. In the face of praise I am always a little embarrassed, but rest assured, yours gives me pleasure through the sympathy you express to me and which, if I am not mistaken, affects my person above my art ; This is why I send you my thanks with joy. What more can I tell you except that I will try to do as well next time and it is with this promise that I shake your hand. Raoul Dufy. »
