ALS in French, in pencil, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Giverny par Vernon letterhead, December 3, 1917. Letter reads, in part (translated): “I am very worried and almost discouraged while noticing that what combustible [coal] I have left will not go beyond one month, contrary to what I thought. Then my fate is in your hands, so I dare not tell you what I would need until nice weather comes, certainly ten thousand kilos of which half in anthracite...to heat the big workshop. Tell me quite frankly what you could obtain so I can take precautions, because if you could not obtain what I need I would have to keep the little I have for the house up keep and then renounce totally to achieve my large work and it would be complete discouragement for me. A word, won’t you as soon as you obtain a result. I am depending on your obliging friendship. Give my respects to Madame Clementel and for you my thanks and excuses to give you so much trouble...P. S. May I remind you that the cigarettes are running out but this is nothing compared to the coal.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, and a staple hole to top left corner. Monet’s house, gardens, and workshop were in Giverny, the setting of his famous water lily paintings. Monet letters are always in extremely high demand, and this example is particularly desirable because of the direct reference to his workshop and work.
