On Louise's health, convalescing after "a slight mucous fever": "I was very afraid for three days"; and on the strike, "an unprecedented failure for the C.G.T.". - Wednesday evening [1913]. Letter with erasures and corrections about his break-up with his wife Louise, for whom Elisabeth has taken sides: "From the first day I foresaw what would happen if you continued to give advice to separate. I told you that you would bring about the breakup of my household. [...] I have no doubt that you inspire her silence as you inspired her separation. I'm not saying that you advise her to do so; I'm saying that she would certainly write to me if you didn't keep talking to her about me in the same terms. You're completing the break-up. [...] What I can't accept is that you're acting towards me as if I were a stranger, the husband of one of your friends"... Attached is a L.A.S. "Pierre" (n.d., 3 pages in-8, 2 envelopes) to his cousin Thérèse Maldan about Elisabeth's illness, requesting his presence at her bedside.
