The letter is posted from the Chambre des Pairs. 1p 1/2: "I learn with pleasure my Dear Cousin, that your health has not worsened by the fatigue of the journey, nor by the resumption of your functions. I nevertheless feel how useful it would be for you to obtain a position as receiver and I am looking after your interests in this respect... I had gone that day to see the Minister, but he was absent, and I was only able to reach him yesterday at the Chambre des Pairs, where I gave him a note signed by me which he promised to give to Mr. Bacot de Romand himself..."
