I thank you, my amiable papa, for the good bishop, but could you please send his letter back to me via the carrier of this note because his address is on the bottom and I don't know it.

Neither I nor my children shall be able to go and have lunch with you tomorrow, but we are counting on making up for it one day next week. We do not want to lose any of our good habits, especially that of loving you.

A thousand regards for you and yours from all of mine.
