Summary
Inscribed on the verso of Jarry's business card (showing the addresses 7 rue Cassette and Le Coudray), Jarry writes that he found out too late that one is allowed to send 500 grams of delicacies at a time; he promises to send for her Tuesday salon some "mauve candles and perhaps some edible things"..."even though [mardi] is Gras, that is to say closed, I believe to the outside public," adding that Ouin will be conveying to him his new book in-18° ("to hell with the colleborations!"), which he will bring back to Paris. That he hasn't yet read Rachilde's message due to the negligence of his landlord.
