Aet. 46, to a French man of letters. Because of the collapse of his magazine La Revue Indépendante, the failures of his marriage to Maria Grabowska and various investments, and as the result of his contrarian support for Alfred Dreyfus before the scandal broke, Dujardin was financially underwater in October 1898.
