4/19。 He was subject in his youth to violent headaches; 〃which sometimes

developed into a cerebral fever;〃 as well as strange nervous troubles: 〃A

few days ago I was attacked; at night; with a sudden nervous illness; of a

terrifying nature; which I have not as yet been able to identify。〃 To his

brother; 3rd September; 1848。

Severe disappointment or annoyance always had a great effect upon him; on

the occasion of his first marriage he fell into a sort of cataleptic

condition as a result of the opposition of his parents and relations; who

sought to oppose it。 (Conversations with his brother。)

sterling; and I can then; by giving up these abominable private lessons;

cultivate rather more seriously the studies into which you have initiated

me。〃 Communicated by M。 Achard。

The primitive fountain; the 〃antique appliance〃 transmitted by inheritance;

originally of three apertures and three straws; two similar apertures on

one side; with two short straws; which dipped into the water; and a single

orifice on the other side for the longer straw which delivered the water。

Happening one day to use only two straws; one on each side; the little

9/14。 Letters to his brother。

〃I am not sulking; far from it。。。I have no lack of ink and paper; I am too

careful of them to lack them; but I do lack time。。。So you still think I am

sulking because I do not reply! But imagine; my dear and petulant brother;

that for several weeks I have been pursuing; with unequalled persistence;

some abominable conic problems proposed at the fellowship examination; and

once I have mounted my hobby…horse; good…bye to letters; good…bye to

replies; goodbye to everything。〃 (Carpentras; 27th November; 1848。)

〃You are right; seven times right to storm at me; to grumble at my silence;

and I admit; in all contrition; that I am the worst correspondent you could

find。 To force myself to write a letter is to place myself on the rack; as

well you know。。。But why do you get it into your head; why do you tell me;

that I disdain you; that I forget you; that I ignore you; you; my best

friend?。。。For my silence blame only the multiplicity of tasks; which often

surpasses; not my courage; but my strength and my time。〃 (Ajaccio; 1st

June; 1851。)
