"Monsieur Lacroix, the two paintings you describe perfectly are indeed mine. I knew they were to be sold and as I was ill at the time, I had informed several of my collectors, unable to go to Paris myself. You would be very kind in your turn to tell me the price you paid for them and from whom you bought them. Please believe me, Sir, yours faithfully. A. Sisley."
