Claude MONET. L.A.S. "Claude," London Saturday 4 ½ o'clock in the evening [January 26, 1901], to his wife Alice; 4 pages in-8 on the letterhead of the Savoy Hotel (small missing at one corner). On his work in London. "I am hardly happy today for I am still without my boxes which I will not have until Monday, and still it is not certain. You can imagine how bad I feel, I may have done some pastel sketches, but that doesn't help me. The weather was very nice and I could have worked. In the absence of a walk, "I'll go back to reading my Delacroix". He is to have lunch with Sargent, with whom he has seen several exhibitions: among others, the one where Durand [Durand-Ruel] sent paintings by Renoir, Sisley, Pissarro and me, and as I thought, it is a pitiful effect. It's a bad way to make ourselves known in this country and I intend to tell Father Durand. He found his habits at the Savoy "always very good. Always a very good kitchen"...
