“Madam! May I be so bold as to ask you to be so kind as to convey my regrets to the Minister and to excuse me for having missed the appointment he so kindly granted me for last night? Around six o'clock, I was struck by a sudden indisposition that tormented me all night. I am now much better, but I do not yet dare to go out; otherwise, I would have come in person to apologize. Please accept, Madam, the expression of my most earnest regards from your most devoted Meyerbeer.”
