In-8° format, 2 pages. The grace of some, the accuracy of others, as well as the elegance of your style will surely find more worthy admirers than myself, but allow me also to pay you my compliments by expressing at the same time how much I am touched by the truly obliging and affectionate way in which you have kindly spoken of me in your work, for which I thank you most sincerely; This seems to have been dictated by friendship, and it would be very sweet of me to possess yours. I therefore beg you to change this illusion into reality, and to count me among your truest and warmest friends. I beg you to present my respects to Mad de St Maur, and if one of these days you can spare an evening, I ask you for it (...) Bibliography: Trésors du siècle d'or russe, de Pouchkine à Tolstoï.
