Dear Michael~
Thank you posting about the upcoming auction, but more importantly, addiing your post about visiting the Kolb-Proust Archives.

Exploring the library and meeting the Proustian-librarians continues to be on my wish-list.
I discovered a website, by François Proulx, which delves into a few of the Kolb letters...and wanted to share it with you.

"Proust and the Great War"
