Description

“Knowing that it is your literary jubilee, I would have, of course, personally participated in your evening, but since I was not invited (it happens—it doesn’t matter), I send you these few words full of sympathy and friendship from both of us [i.e. including Bella]. Live and work. Perhaps better times await you, when art will be closer to men’s hearts.”
