April-May 1897 (?)
I'm afraid Our Mother isn't happy, she's very attached to friction, especially in her back. If Mr. Clodion comes on Sunday to wave his long hair behind my back, he'll wonder why we didn't do what he said... Perhaps it would be better to wait until Monday; finally Poor, Poor, do as you like, everything will be ready tomorrow. Above all, do not talk to this Poor Mr., operate as you see fit and remember that we must be rich, very rich both!...
