Letter to a gentleman, in full (translated): "I received your letter of May 6th reminding me of your previous letter, in which you asked me for a message for the students of your School. Excuse me, please. If I did not go at your invitation, it is because I have absolutely no habit of sending addresses or speeches of any kind. You can only assure your students that I wish them the best in their work. Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my distinguished feelings."
