Cher Monsieur!

Il m'a fait un grand plaisir d'apprendre par M. Zorn^[2] que vous avez notre exposition de l'année prochaine en bon souvenir. Tout specialement [sic] je vous suis reconnaissant que vous voulez nous confier votre "Dame en blanc^[3]", que j'étais si heureux de revoir dans [p. 2] votre studio à ma visite chez vous printemps dernier.

Recevez cher Monsieur l'assurance de mes sentiments les plus distingués

Prince Eugène

Dear Sir!

It gave me great pleasure to learn from Mr. Zorn that you have our exhibition for next year well in mind. I am particularly grateful that you wish to offer your "Lady in white", which I was so happy to see again in [p. 2] your studio on my visit last spring.

Yours faithfully

Prince Eugène
