110. Rue du Bac.
Paris.
Sunday.
Rather disappointed at not having received from you this morning a note to say how you liked the little draped figure[4] - By the way I fancy must have made a mistake with the other proofs, and sent you 4 of one & 2 of the other instead of 3 of each - Let me know and I will make that all right -
Very sincerely
[butterfly signature]
would[5] you like to have the sea pieces that were at the Salon[6]? - Or do you think that nothing is going on?
