I'm
hoping to have a reply from you -- as for Simrock's letter, I
consider that we could give him the things with modifications,
seeing that it would always mean a certain sum; we could make
the contract with him only in respect of Paris. Afterwards
he can then do what he likes -- In this way the Comptoir d'Industrie
could raise no objection -- What do you think? -- I am not very
well yet, but I am hoping that my health will improve -- Come
to me soon -- I embrace you with all my heart -- Many complements
to a most particular place.
