[end of 1908 – beginning of 1909?]
Dear Monsieur,
I beg you please to present to Madame Williams with all my respect these flowers which without wearying you with vain speeches will convey my gratitude for the delicate goodness which you employ with regard to me and of which I would ask you to find here the most sincere and most distinguished expression.
Marcel Proust
I absolutely expect you to tell me what I owe you for the expenses I occasion you by these shifts in the workers’ hours.
