“My dear child, Your letter has reached me in Royan where Madame Dumas, Jeannine, and I are, and it’s raining. I am very happy with the good news of your success in October and deeply touched by the kind letter from your excellent mother and your father, who is always so affectionate towards me. Before my departure, I had her tapestry sealed in tobacco, pepper, and all the herbs of St. John’s Day . It is impossible that anyone offered 6,000 francs for this item. They must have told your friend: it’s worth 6,000 francs. (…) I myself bought five tapestries from the auctioneers… for 1,550 francs. (…) Madame Dumas sends me her warmest regards to Countess Primoli; Jeannine and I send you our love.”
