Paul VERLAINE. L.A.S., January 13, 1893, to Léon Vanier; 2 pages in-12. To his publisher. "Here is a new addition to the 2nd of Mes hôpitaux. Give Philomène [Boudin, his mistress] what you can of it. As for the book on Holland [Quinze jours en Hollande], please let me have it. [...] I don't get anything anywhere [...] which is why, while waiting for honest sums, I insist on some money from you, earned, after all". He asks that his mail be unsealed and given to Philomène or forwarded to her: "I particularly expect a letter from M. de Rotschild". In a postscript he announces: "The book Dans les Limbes is done, 450 verses!", and asks for proofs of Mes Prisons and the chapter on Vouziers.
