PARIS,
Sunday eveg - 1
It is very kind and attentive of the Good Apprentice - and I thank her for her petits Bleus[3] - and her little note after her visit - it was very pretty -
Perhaps tomorrow or Tuesday I may at [p. 2] last get out - for I am wearied beyond easy words at this imprisonment!
I will at once let you know that we may make arrangements for this weeks Academie -
Always Sincerely
J McN W
