Wednesday, 5 September 1883
Bad weather — all planned outings have fallen through for three days. I saw General Bourbaki come to call on the Marshal, who is still confined to bed but always charming, considerate, and eager to know whether everything possible is being done to ensure I am comfortable and not bored. I visit him twice a day. And that is all.# Mercredi 5 septembre 1883
I work only on Louis's portrait. They are keeping me until Sunday.
Je ne travaille qu'au portrait de Louis. On me garde jusqu'à dimanche.
