Notes: | Seven letters of this collection were published in the 1945 Grasset edition. One of them (no. 192) is an abbreviated version of a letter announcing to various friends the death of Degas' younger brother, Achille. The same letters appear in the English version of the Grasset edition published in Oxford, 1947, with the addition of a short note to Susanne Valadon (no. 212). A condolence letter to [Georges?] Charpentier on the death of his mother (n.d.) is partially reproduced in Denys Sutton's monograph of 1986. |

Abstract:
The six letters presumably unpublished are rather short. Degas sends a fan painted in "genre camaieu" to the dealer Beugniet, asking for FF200; to a lady, cancelling a dinner engagement because of a "petite solennité" at Gauguin's; to Bartholomé, joking about the company he will share in the theater box he reserved for him [1892]; to Braquaval, cancelling the day he planned to spend in the country at his friend's place (1896); to a lady, sending detailed information about transportation means to St. Germain and the name of the person to contact if she is looking for a house. A letter sent to Braquaval perhaps in 1900-1901 ends with a typical sentence of Degas: "Travaillez bien, il n'y a vraiment que ça."
