Summary
Saying that, against his inclinations, he has been persuaded to participate in the upcoming exhibition of Impressionist paintings, so as not to let his friends down; asking if he could borrow the last painting he sold Duret ("une chose faite à Courbevoie") and another painting ("une marine représentante une flottille de bateaux de pêche vue d'en haut"); writing that the exhibition opens on April 10; asking if he knows where M. Baudry is, as he has a painting ("une chose de Hollande") that has never been exhibited and which Monet would like to show.
