"Sir, I am returning pages 5 and 6 of The Village Priest to you. You will see that there has been an error; pages 5 and 6 from volume I were sent instead of pages from volume II. I am waiting for the correct pages 5 and 6."
Attached is a portion of cupboard 10 in case we need one or two pages for the layout that I don't need and which makes 12 pages.
I don't understand why they didn't format sheets 8, 9 and 10.
Press Porthmann for the good sheets and the 9th one, the material of which is with them. From Bc.

Hippolyte Souverain had entrusted the printing of the Memoirs of the two young brides to the Porthmann Printing House (printing house run by Aglaé Thérèse Thomé, widow of Jules Louis Porthmann (1790-1820)) which was about to be sold at voluntary auction in November 1840. Informed of this upcoming sale, Souverain had informed Balzac.
