"Emmanuel" or L.A., 1891-1892, to HIS WIFE ALICE; 21 pages in-8, 4 on Casino du Mont-Dore letterhead, one envelope Letters to his wife about his cure at Mont-Dore and his financial troubles. [Correspondence 91-36, 57, 72 (and 2 unpublished l.); 92-8] [La Membrolle] May 9, 1891. "Yes, next to the very sensible things you often say and do, you sometimes drop such enormous blunders on me that I pounce like a wild beast. But it doesn't matter, Mom; you have to wear yourself out the way you are, and hang on to the thousands of loving branches that will bind us forever and ever. She knows it, the little woman. - But our existence is so tormented, and there's so little hay at the rack! What do you want, we don't know what we're saying anymore, or rather, we go too far, because there's so much to say! If I don't tell you to come, it's because it was agreed that you wouldn't move from Paris this month; otherwise it's not serious: money spent, Marcel left to his own devices for 4 or 5 days, because if you came I'd keep you as much as possible, we mustn't do that [...] Anyway, I'm better in general, but what a change of regime! For all you know, hot and cold are pernicious to me, draughts, open doors, all that is odious"... He has to have his eyes examined. He complains about his sons... - July 16. He complains again about his eyes: "I don't need glasses, or at least they're not enough. My eye is sinking in, there's no denying it, and the eyelids have a very marked tendency not to obey as they should"... Mont-Dore August 21, 1891. "I believe, all in all, that my stay here will not have been profitable, but I need a lot of care, especially if I want to work usefully - and this work tires me out"... He has "the honor of sniffing, every morning, the steam, with Lassalle and the Reszké, the whole baritone brass"... Le Roi malgré lui is to be sung in Toulouse in January. "It's Renaud [Raynaud] and Marcel who have taken it off with the Conseil mal; because there's a new director; the treaty is signed, Costallat has confirmed the news to me". - August 23rd. The newspapers announce that Bourgault-Ducoudray's opera is to be performed: "poor Lamoureux couldn't make it and our old friend [Gwendoline] is still in the bag! [...] it's sad and very unfortunate for me, but I've had enough of so many unsuccessful platitudes"... - August 24. "And Lohengrin is probably being performed on February 4, and Lamoureux told me he was counting on me to attend the premiere!"... - August 27, to Marcel, "to be read to my little wife". Instructions for her return: "It's wiser and more convenient for you to come with Mariette, who, after all, will do my potboil without tiring my mother. - Of course, if I'd written to your poor mother to come, my God, she'd have been happy! Ah! to have her wolf back! I wish you one like her, my poor little one! [...] My God! Rest, rest, let them give me a rest! January 15, 1892. Evening at Luzeau's; problems opening the trunk; races to find Catulle Mendès: "I'm hunting Catulle"; reunion with Marcel; etc.
