A very young Toulouse-Lautrec sends a warm letter to his godmother, stating `Ma chère Marraine, il n´y a pas très longtemps que je vous ai écrit, mais je vous dois des remerciements pour les bonnes étrennes que vous avez chargé maman de m´apporter. Je saurai très bien profiter selon vos intentions, c´est à dire en m´amusant le plus possible.´ (Translation: “My dear Godmother, it has not been very long since I wrote to you, but I owe you thanks for the good gifts that you asked mother to bring me. I will know how to enjoy my time, according to your intentions, that is to say while having as much fun as possible.´) Toulouse Lautrec further refers to his first communion and wishes that his godmother will be able to attend the event of his communion.
