Letter from James Joyce to Livia Veneziani Schmitz, written in another hand under dictation, Paris, 24th September 1928: “Dear Mrs Schmitz: A Trieste newspaper has been forwarded to me from Le Havre in which there is a paragraph about the fatal accident to poor Schmitz and the injuries to yourself. I telegraphed you at your Trieste address although I did not know where you were. We are all greatly shocked to hear of his death. […] Please remember me if at any time my help can serve to keep alive the memory of my old friend for whom I have always had affection and respect”. |
