Description

Monet writes to Pissarro on a sticky situation: "They are asking me for paintings I was supposed to have delivered a long time ago"

ALS in French, two pages, 5.25 x 8.5, Giverny par Vernon letterhead, August 30, 1892. Handwritten letter to fellow painter Camille Pissarro, in part (translated): "I haven't been able to find the receipt you've asked for yet, but I'll find it and send it to you right away. But don't worry there is no duplication. Mirbeau has just written to me asking me to come with them to your house on Thursday. Unfortunately, this is impossible for me. They are asking me for paintings I was supposed to have delivered a long time ago, and I absolutely have to deal with that." In fine condition, with faint toning from prior display.
