MONET, Claude (1840–1926). Autograph letter signed “Claude Monet,” Giverny via Vernon, March 23 [1890], to Gustave GEFFROY; 2 pages, in-8 format, in violet ink, with a stamped envelope. Regarding the matter of MANET’s *Olympia*. Note: Monet is concerned “that I have received no news of what Pelletan was kind enough to attempt with Mr. Bourgeois [the new Minister of Fine Arts]. “However, I cannot wait indefinitely without replying to LARROUMET.” He had sent a telegram the day before and had received nothing by Sunday morning: “Please see Pelletan and be sure to write to me tomorrow.” He adds in a postscript: “Letting matters drag on like this can only be detrimental to our cause, especially since Larroumet must now be aware of the steps that have been taken with the new Minister.”
