had requested me to sell a
dozen, I have no hesitation in saying they would have been paid
for before this - I have however at present to beg that you will
do me the kindness to send me two good proofs if possible (prints
if you have not any proofs) of it - one for "Madame La Duchesse
de Dinon, Rue St Florentine", the other for "Mrs (illegible)
, Rue de Ponthieu No. 30". If you please to roll them on
a carton & send them by the foreign office, Downing Street,
to the care of the Hon. Mme Fred. Byng: you can do so, and their
transport will cost nothing, properly addressed, to me - if however
you prefer other means of sending them, do as you think best.
& please to let there be a bill to each -
I have been detained in here
very much beyond the period which I had conceived would have
limited my visit to Paris; my occupation has been, from last
July, increasing: and I see little chance of my being able to
do more
