Malheureusement, je ne possède pas de photographie de moi. Chaque fois que j´en fais faire 2 ou 3 douzaines, elles me glissent aussitôt entre les doigts, et comme elles sont ridiculement chères à Paris, mes moyens ne me permettent pas de dépenser 80 à 100 fr. par mois...´ (Translation: " Accept my thanks for your kind letter and believe me that nothing would be more pleasant to me than to be able to respond to your desire. Unfortunately, I do not have a photograph of myself. Every time I have 2 or 3 dozen made, they immediately slip through my fingers, and as they are ridiculously expensive in Paris, my means do not allow me to spend 80 to 100 francs. per month...") Postmarked in Paris and Cairo and stamped to the verso. G
