"My dear friend, it is with all my heart that I send you these three hundred francs, happy to participate in your good deed, and since I know you are in Paris, I repeat my request that you come and spend a day in Giverny. You'll find me hard at work. It didn't happen on its own, as I hadn't worked for 18 months, I wasn't there at all, and I HAD TO HAVE A LOT OF WILL TO CONTINUE, because I WAS ONLY MAKING PORK.

Yours in friendship..."
