Friday, 8 August 1879

We went to the exhibition at the Palais de l’Industrie as a group, the Gavinis, Randouin, Berthe, Géry, etc. and afterwards to the Bois.
Blanc tells us that the Acard girl has turned out to have a little brother of twelve. This keeps me happy the whole evening, and I draw a caricature with several captions about Popaul and his brother-in-law.
I do not think Blanc is as well-informed as I thought. He does not bring all this up of his own accord, and since I do not know how much he knows, it is difficult.
All of this is more than absurd.
My God, what an injustice You have done! No doubt it was necessary but I do not understand why.
