Jules Boissière's Fumeurs d'opium was published in 1896; the tenor of Daudet's letter would seem to indicate that it was written shortly thereafter the book's appearance.

Bequest of Gordon N. Ray, 1987.
Summary
Excusing himself for not writing sooner and explaining that, after an unproductive winter, with his mind in a state of hibernation, he now has a strong desire to write, which has prevented him from responding to Boissiere; noting that he has heard many good things about Boissiere's book Fumeurs d'opium and hoping that he will write for the Revue Indochinoise.
