But I had just received it and I still want to give it to you with all the [memories] which this request inspires me to, for all the [amity] which I have vowed unto you,” adding the post script, “Would you be so kind as to present Madame de Dumilly my respects and my regrets [for missing] her most agreeable soirees.” In fine condition, with an intersecting horizontal and vertical fold, an ink notation to the top left, and trimmed edges.
