“Dear miss, Maître Gienles [?] , rue d'Alger has not yet received the 350 francs for the month that is ending. There is an urgent need to give them to him. I would therefore be grateful if you would call at Ms. Calmann-Levy's, rue Auber, ask for this small sum on my behalf and have it taken immediately to Rue d'Alger. I thank you in advance dear miss and ask you to believe in my best feelings. Anatole France. »
