Notes Proust made for his Gaulois article published 31 May 1894, written on the back of the programme for the party that was to be held on 24 May 1894 but was delayed until 30 May because of bad weather.
Partial and slightly inaccurate transcription published in Deux inédits de Marcel Proust, L. A. Bisson, French Studies vol 2 issue 4, 1948.
