Chopin charges me to shake you heartily by the hand for him. Maurice and Solange embrace you. They are wonderfully well. Maurice has completely recovered. Chopin to Fontana; Marseilles, March 2, 1839: You no doubt learned from Grzymala of the state of my health and my manuscripts. Two months ago I sent you from Palma my Preludes.
Chopin to Grzymala; Keir, Perthshire, Sunday, October 1, 1848: My dearest friend, Just at the moment when I had already begun to write to you on another sheet, your and my sister's letters were brought to me. Heaven be thanked that cholera has hitherto spared them. I hope it is not your grandfather or grandchild, or one of your dear neighbours, the Rochanskis.
Grzymala writes about you very kindly a propos of the tenderness with which you have taken my place by the side of him, and you especially, so that I will tell you that I know it, and that my heart will keep account of it seriously and for ever... Au revoir, then, soon, my dear child, and receive my maternal benediction. May it bring you luck as I wish! George Sand.
You must write to Wessel doubtless you have already written about the Preludes. If you think he would not give so much, let me know first. Inform me also if Probst is in Paris. Further look out for a servant. I should prefer a respectable honest Pole. Tell also Grzymala of it. Stipulate that he is to board himself; no more than 80 francs.
At any rate, if you get no news from me do not complain of me, for I think very often of writing to you. If you see Mdlle. de Rozieres or Grzymala, one or the other of them will have heard something if not from me, from some friends. The park here is very beautiful, the lord of the manor very excellent, and I am as well as I am permitted to be. Not one proper musical idea.
From the money obtained you will give Grzymala 500 francs, the rest, 2,500 francs, you will send me as soon as possible. Love me and write. Pardon me if I overwhelm you too much with commissions, but do not be afraid, these are not the last. I think you do willingly what I ask you. My love to Johnnie. Chopin to Fontana; Marseilles, March 10, 1839: Thanks for your trouble.
Her son Maurice passed his days in the studio of Eugene Delacroix; and Solange gave much time to her lessons, and lost much over her toilet. Of Grzymala we hear that he is always in love with all the beautiful women, and rolls his big eyes at the tall Borgnotte and the little Jacqueline; and that Madame Marliani is always up to her ears in philosophy.
