Letter from Marie Laurencin, Düsseldorf, to Paul Rosenberg, 1921 January 26 : autograph manuscript signed.

Informing him that her husband accompanied Yvonne [Crotti] back to Paris and that when he returned [to Germany] he told her that she had taken the little book to Rosenberg. She is still unable to create an invitation card. She thinks it would be stupid to have it look like one of her paintings. Otherwise, she is working laboriously and says that he won't be able to see the canvas through the paint, which she says is his nightmare. She informs him that she will have her own place in Paris beginning in April and will be his neighbor. [Mr. and Mrs. Jean-Emile] Laboureur have found an apartment and are subletting their pied-à-terre to her in the rue de Penthièvre (#19). There will be a small space with north light for her to work. She has been invited to spend a week at the end of February with Madame Groult.
