Radiguet and his affection for Irene.

« My dearest Irene, Tonight I have nothing in particular to tell you, but suddenly, I feel like writing to you. It's ten o'clock and I'm in the Parc Saint-Maur! You see, on the subject of wisdom, neither of us has anything to reproach ourselves for. This is the last time I'll write to you. Because in Paris, we have other things to do. Besides, I hope I'll see you often; that will be some consolation. I regret not having anything more cheerful to send you than these few words, for example, a color postcard, like the one you gave me. But you can't find them in the Parc Saint-Maur, especially at this hour. Tonight, I feel like learning to sew (just for you) and doing some needlework. I don't know exactly what it's called, embroidery; that's all I know. I'd like to embroider your name for your name day. I'm checking my diary. Your name day is a long way off. Good evening, your friend. RR My best regards to Serge. – I asked a painter what a 100-meter canvas is. It's even bigger than I thought. How will you get it back to Paris if it won't fit in the train car?
