"Mr. Alboize, dear Sir, would you please have my stone taken next Friday? I preferred to create something new rather than rework the other. It's a young girl's head. Believe me, dear Sir, with all my heart, Eugène Carrière."

"Dear Mr. Alboize, I would be very kind of you to postpone the lithographic stone until next Saturday. I have been unable to work these past few days. Please accept my best regards. Eugène Carrière."
