"My dear colleague, I have just had a slight bout of the flu and have stayed home all week. I hope to be able to resume my activities next week and I would be pleased to receive your visit. I can always be found on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. after my lecture at the PCN, 12 rue Cuvier. And also on Fridays at 10:00 a.m. at the School of Physics. In the afternoons, I am usually at the school. Thank you very much for the kindness you expressed in your letter. Please convey my respectful greetings to your parents, and I ask you to thank your mother for the honor she bestowed upon me by attending my lecture. Yours sincerely, P. Curie."
