René Martin-Guelliot to Jean Paulhan, 1912, 3

Monday [1912]

My dear friend,

I hope your flu gets better... but I too was going to write to you not to come this evening: I have urgent errands and I prefer to get rid of the resettlement tasks in the first few days.
Here is the clipping of Gil Blas, quite interesting or pleasant.
Thank you for the good news you give me. — I am in no way hostile [sic] to literati, “as such”, quite the contrary. I hope that a note from the next issue will not displease them. I found in an article by Faguet an idea that I had often wanted to express and I present it with a short commentary. For greater certainty, I am attaching the proofs. The number being drawn, I cannot materially delete or change, but I could still modify the title until tomorrow morning and sign F.C. or R.M.G. instead of the Sp editorial. So please respond to me about this today. Besides, anyone who reads attentively, either Faguet or me, will not be mistaken.

Yours sincerely, B.M.G.

Please keep the cut for me
