“I am returning, my dear beloved, from the Berru's where I had gone in the hope of dispelling a terrible headache which was preventing me from even reading. I'm pretty much back at the same point where I was when I went there. But I did my duty, that's the best I can do , the rest is none of my business, as poor Kesler said. I met Mesdames Charles [Hugo] and Asseline at these ladies’ house. Only they didn't tell me that they weren't dining here this evening, which forced me to cancel their meals straight away.

Ah! here you are... That won't stop me from continuing my scribbling as if nothing had happened. I will write to young Henriette later. I will even add a kind word for Madame Chenay despite her inattention towards me in everything she writes to you but that doesn't matter at the moment. Like Marquand, it is enough that she is good to you at this moment for me to believe that I am obliged to her. I love you. »
